2.12.6. Verifying the accuracy of the KeyKode Numbering

When you have completed the KeyKode reader connections and have
performed the head offset learning, you will need to verify the frame
accuracy of the KeyKode reader in the system.
The following simple procedure will help you establish that the KeyKode
