9. Keyboard
Keyboard presets allow you to define the meaning of keys on the scale keyboard. The Astra
keyboard has a shift key, so you can define two meanings for each key. Meanings that can be
assigned to keys include PLU numbers, extra messages, and tare weights.
The keyboard screen can be used to edit three different types of data. Use the Display buttons
on the bottom left of the window to switch between the three options.
9.1 Defining the Upper and Lower Key Meanings
The scale keyboard has a shift key, so you can define two meanings for each key. These are
called the upper (standard) and lower (shift key pressed) keys respectively.
However, meanings can only be assigned to the keys on the left side of the keyboard. The
righthand side keys appear gray as in the example below.
1. To display the keyboard screen, click the keyboard tab at the top of the AstraLink
window (below the menu bar).
2. In the Display buttons on the bottom left of the screen, select Upper.
The figure below shows an example.
3. Edit the key definitions as described below. Click the Upper and Lower buttons in the
Display area at the bottom left of the window to switch the display between the upper
and lower keys.
4. When you have finished, click the Save button to save your changes.
