KEY MAKE/BREAK CODES AND EXTENDED FUNCTIONS

There are two scan codes assigned to each key, one for when the key is depressed (MAKE

code) and the other for when the key is released (BREAK code). Generally, all keys are

programmed to output both MAKE and BREAK codes. The SHIFT, CONTROL and ALTERNATE

keys are always programmed to output MAKE and BREAK codes so that the system can tell if the

key is being held down. Other programming commands are provided in the local programming

mode to enable the user to customize the keyboard output.
