Programming your function keys in MR-Win6530

If your unit has Wyse terminals, select this link for further directions.

Before you program your function keys in MR-Win6530, you need to add operations to map them to, or you can use pre-existing operations like "EditCopy" and "EditPaste" for example.

To add new operations:

choose Edit->Operations from the Edit Menu, then
select the New button.
select the Macro or Script option.
choose a name for your Macro or Script and type in the commands to save to your Macro or Script.

After making changes, make sure you save your profile by:

choosing File->Save Profile from the File menu.

Now that you have some macros and/or scripts saved, you can map them to function keys. Or, you can also map to keystroke combinations like: Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, etc.

To map to function keys:

choose Options->Keyboard from the Options menu to open the Keyboard Map dialog box.
select the Add button and choose the Macro or Script you saved or one of the default operations from the operation drop-down list box.

After you have the operation you wish to map selected,

select the Type Key command and type the function key, character key or key combination you want to map the operation to.
select the OK button and close the Keyboard Map dialog box.

Again, after making changes, make sure you save your profile by:

choosing File->Save Profile from the File menu.

Do not map GLADIS logon and passwords to function keys or key combinations. Instead, download my GLADIS logon script from:http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/~jmitola/Downloads.html and unzip the file to your Mr-Win6530 folder: "C:\Progam Files\MR-Win6530\PROGRAM\logon.ous". Make sure the file is saved as "logon.ous" or the script won't work! This should happen by default.

Now, open a GLADIS profile you want to add a logon script to.

elect Edit->Operations from the file menu and select the Load command button. The default directory should be "C:Program Files\MR-Win6530\PROGRAM". If it isn't, browse to that folder by pulling down the drop box next to the text Look in from the Open Dialog box.
load the file logon.ous.

As before, after you load the logon script, save your profile.

From the file menu select: File->Save Profile.

Since this script should run every time you open your profile, attach it to your profile as a startup operation. This means that it will run automatically every time you open the profile.

To do this,

select Options->Communications from the file menu and select Logon as your startup operation. This is the name of the logon script.
select OK and save your profile again.

close your profile and re-start. The logon script should run automatically now. When the script runs, it will prompt you for your GLADIS logon and password. It will automatically execute every other step without you having to type it in each time you open your profile.

Repeat these steps for every GLADIS profile you want to add this logon script to.

Programming your function keys for the older Wyse Terminals

To program the keys in your Wyse terminal:

follow these steps:

Press the shift key and the select key (located in the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard) simultaneously. You are now speaking with the terminal, not GLADIS.
Press the funct key (lower left-hand corner of the terminal). The bottom of the screen will show F1=. This tells you that the terminal is ready to take your keying sequence for function key 1.
Enter your sequence of characters and press return. The terminal will then display F2=, and accept a string of up to eight characters for that function key.
You may either load each key in sequence, or load a particular function key by pressing the key you wish to load.

The function keys may be programmed in any fashion your unit requires, except your logon and password. Upper or lower case characters may be used. If you make a typo, do not backspace. Press the function key you are trying to correct. You may then enter the correct program.

If the terminal is turned off, only the first four characters of each function key will be remembered. To reload them, you must go through the above process.

NOTE: If you want to have a Return as one of your eight characters, use the Enter key. The return key is used to save your sequence, and therefore cannot be loaded in a function key.

To get out of the set-up mode:

press the shift key and the select key at the same time. The top of the screen now changes and it will ask if you want to save the changes.
press the A character key to save the function key changes.
you are now talking to GLADIS again, not the terminal.

You may now logon to AutoCirc as usual. Select the following link if you have problems logging on.

Programming your function keys for the newer Wyse Terminals

The newer terminals have more memory capacity than the older ones. Notice as you program the functions that the highlighted space you are typing in gets smaller as you program more functions. As long as what you type is in the highlighted area, it will be saved when the machine is turned off and will not have to be reprogrammed.

In order to program the function keys, follow these steps:

Press the Shift and Select keys simultaneously. You will now see the "HANDSHAKE:DTR" in a highlighted box at the lower left corner of the screen.
press the yellow up arrow (located to the left of the calculator keys) sixteen (16) times. This will take you backwards through the function key settings, which is faster than going in a forward direction.
Type in the functions desired for your unit, such as ch for charge, dc for discharge, ren for renew, etc.

NOTE:In order to go from one function key to the next while programming, you now only need to press the yellow down arrow; to return to one you've already programmed, press the yellow up arrow.

In order to save what you've done:

press the SHIFT and SELECT keys together. You should now see a "Save changes for power on?" message blinking in the upper right corner of the screen.
Simply type the letter Y and wait one second. Programming is completed.

CAUTION:You must now use the RETURN key to program a "Carriage return" into a function key. On the old Wyse terminals, the RETURN key took you from function to function; now you must use the yellow up and down arrows to do this.
