APPENDIX G: Using the RS-232 Serial CIM (KV1518A)
If you’d like to program any of your keyboard’s twelve function keys with
commands or data items you frequently have to send the device, bring up the Set
Up Programmable Keys screen (shown in Figure G-5) by pressing [Alt] + [F3].
Once a string (with a maximum length of sixteen characters) has been assigned to
a key, pressing that key while you’re in On-Line Mode will send the entire string to
the device.
