Note about Multi-key Enable: Some software applications may
operate erratically when responding to simultaneous, multiple key
presses. The Multi-Key Enable option of 6180 Industrial Computers
allows you to enable/disable multiple key presses for predictable,
reliable operation.

6180 Industrial Computers are shipped with a Multi-Key Enable
function, that is disabled (by default) for the keypad. Simultaneous
key presses of programmable keys are inhibited by this default
setting. In addition, all programmable keys are inhibited when a
Ctrl, Alt or Shift key is pressed. For example, , a shortcut
key combination for the File menu function in many applications, is
inhibited.

Saving Keypad Configurations

You can save a keypad configuration under the existing name or
under a new name.

Save

Choose Save from the File menu or click

on the tool bar to save

changes to a keypad configuration under the current name. The
default filename for the keypad configuration stored on the KIC card
is KIC.KEY. The first time you try to save a configuration, the Save
As dialog opens.

Save As
Choose Save As from the File menu to save the keypad
configuration under a new file name. This command saves the
original version of the keypad configuration without edits and the
modified version under a new name. The default file type for
keypad configuration files is .KEY.
