display.waitkey()

This function captures the key code value for the next front panel action.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
keyCode = display.waitkey()
keyCode
Details
After you send this function, script execution pauses until a front panel action (for example, pressing a key or the
navigation wheel, or turning the navigation wheel). After the action, the keyCode value for that action is returned.
If the EXIT (LOCAL) key is pressed while this function is waiting for a front panel action, the script is not aborted.
A typical use for this function is to prompt the user to press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to abort the script or press
any other key to continue. For example, if the keyCode value 67 is returned (the EXIT (LOCAL) key was
pressed), the exit() function can be called to abort the script.
The table below lists the keyCode value for each front panel action.
