HP t1000 T1000 Series Terminal Emulation Guide - Page 75

The Predefined Macros box enables you to select from a list of standard functions associated with the current terminal emulation. Clicking the arrow button displays a list box in which the names of valid key functions (called virtual key names) are shown. NOTE: The Virtual Key Names appendix lists all the functions and associated virtual key names for each terminal emulation. Note that a virtual key name is sent across a network as a single packet, whereas an escape sequence is split into several packets. If a required function has a virtual key name equivalent, use this instead of the escape sequence. A key definition may be issued locally or transmitted to the host when the key or key combination is pressed. This is determined by the setting of the Local check box. When unchecked the definition is transmitted to the host. The Current Macro Definitions box displays the key and key combinations that are currently defined. You can remove the selected definition or delete all the definitions by tapping the relevant Remove button. Defining A Key Or Key Combination 1. Click in the Program Key box then press the key or key combination to define. The current definition displays. 2. Click in the With box then enter the new definition, or make a selection from the list of Predefined Macros then click Apply. 3. Check the Local check box to make the key definition action locally, or uncheck it to transmit the definition to the host when the key or key combination is pressed. 4. Click the Add button to accept the definition. The new definition is added to the Current Macro Definitions list. Entering Control Characters You can enter a control character either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the control character for the Return key function, CR (carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together would generate the CR code. Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references. Setup Menus 4-37
