6.2.3.5 Front Panel Keyboard
In the Front Panel menu, the keys (also called soft keys) located on the 8580/8590 front
panel can be programmed. This does not apply to the keys Power on/off, +/- Brightness and
Backlight on/off!
All keys depicted in grey/white can have two assignments. Use [SHIFT] to switch between
the assignments.
Character strings cannot be assigned to single keys. Only one character per key is possible.
The keys [ALT], [CTRL] and [SHIFT] may be used in combination, e.g. [CTRL] [ALT]
[F1].
Procedure:
1. Select the key to be changed. It appears in the Current assignment field.
2. Tap the Change key button. The Define key input dialog appears.
3. Tap the desired key assignment. This selected key assignment appears in the New
assignment field.
4. Tap Save to save these new settings.
Note: In order to launch a program with a front panel key, create a link on the desktop
and define a key combination in Properties, e.g. [ALT] + 1. Then program an
8580/8590 front panel key with this combination.
