Operating the WSS 1000

The WWC 1000 Keyboard

The keyboard is used for entering data and issuing commands to the WWC 1000.
Figure 6-

illustrates the standard 27-key keyboard.
The keys on the keyboard are distinguished as modifier keys and character keys. Because
WWC 1000 keyboards have fewer keys than PC keyboards, each character key can produce
more than the usual one or two characters. The modifier keys, FUNC, SHIFT, CTRL, and
the Alpha Shift keys, used individually or in combination, determine which character or
special function the character keys produce.

Auto-Repeat Function

The keyboard also has an optionally configurable auto-repeat function. If the application
allows, a character is repeated as long as the key is held down. If the key is pressed
immediately following a modifier key, the modifier sequence affects only the first occurrence
of the character key.

Modifier Keys

The <SHIFT>, <Alpha Shift>, <FUNC>, and <CTRL> keys are modifier keys. When pressed
individually or in certain combinations, these keys change the keyboard state and possibly
the character produced by the character key that is subsequently pressed.
