nition is a named key sequence. Key denitions are referred to in an ex-
pression passed to the app.send() method which replays the key presses
recorded in the key denition. By default, Link*One denes many of
the standard keys on the keyboard. A key denition can be added, ed-
ited, and removed.

dow dialog box will show the key strokes for the F12 action.
NOTE: e hot key sequence above consists of both the F12 down
event and the F12 up event. You can remove the up event from
the key sequence to make the hot key feel more responsive but
remember that, if you do so, the F12 up event will be passed to
the application. is is not a problem because most application
reacts to key presses on the down event but it may cause prob-
lems in some special circumstances.
13. Tap the Finish button to complete the key denition and save it.
NOTE: A hot key sequence is global in Windows. In the above case, F12
is ltered out from all applications while Link*One is running.
e default implementation of the onHotKey() method looks like this:
It simply enters “Hot Key: <hot key name>”. Of course, hot keys can be
made to do more useful things.

2.9.4.2.4 Keyboard Capture — External USB Device
Allows the unit to capture data strings from an external USB-HID de-
vice.
A keyboard capture consists of a name, a prex key sequence, and a
sux key sequence. It is used to capture data strings from a USB-HID
device (for example a USB connected barcode scanner).
For this to work, the USB device needs to be congured to send (1) a spe-
cial key sequence before the data string and (2) a key sequence that ter-
minates the data string. Please note that the prex sequence should be
chosen with care. All the keys in the keyboard capture’s prex sequence
will be ltered from regular keyboard input until a mismatch is found.
When a data string is captured by a keyboard capture, the script method
onKeyboardCapture() is called.
To perform a keyboard capture:
1. Attach a USB-HID device and plug it in.
2. Turn the USB-HID device on.
3. Tap the Keyboard Capture button.

code gets recorded: prex, barcode data, and sux. In the dia-
log above, the line directly aer the prex has been selected.
13. Tap the Remove button repeatedly to remove the key events for the
barcode data and sux from the list.

NOTE: If you only get the barcode contents, the keyboard capture is
not working. is is probably because a mistake was made in
the setup of the scanner or the prex sequence.
If you don’t get anything and the keyboard seems to have
stopped working, then the sux sequence is probably wrong.

2.9.4.3 Data Editing Tab
Allows the user to add data string termination to data strings. e Data
String Termination setting tells Link*One which character or character
sequence terminates a data string received on the serial port. Alterna-
tively, you can use a timeout value as a terminator.
NOTE: If Timeout is set to 30 ms, Link*One will terminate an input
string when no data has been received for 30 ms.
To add a data string terminator
1. Under the Data Editing tab, tap the Character(s) radio button.
2. Tap the Select button.
3. e Select Data String Terminator window will open and dis-
play a library of terminator characters with their associated ASCII
