can be set to low. If, however, the potentiometer produces an
unsteady reading, a setting of high should be used in order to
keep unintentional keystrokes from being produced.
Preload: With this option on, the
selected channel will not produce
any keystrokes upon power on until
the potentiometer for the channel
is moved. With this option off, the
channel will send out its current
position as soon as it is powered on
or, if set, after the power on delay.
Key repeat: With this option set to
off the keystrokes generated by this
channel will produce one keystroke per
step. In most cases this setting should
be set to off. Setting this option to on
causes the keystroke for the current
step to be held down as if a key on a
typical PC keyboard were being held. The rate at which the key
will repeat is the same as your PC keyboard settings on the PC.
Periodic keystrokes:
The channel can be set to produce a
keystroke corresponding to the current
position of the channel at a specifi ed
period of time. For example, if set to
5.0 sec., a keystroke corresponding
to the current position will be sent
out every 5 seconds. If, however, the
potentiometer position changes from
one section to another such that a
different keystroke is produced, the
periodic keystroke timer will be reset,
and another periodic keystroke will
