Keypad output on a G3 panel

DHawthorne · February 2006

Does anyone recall how the output of a built-in G3 keypad reports? I can't seem to find it in any of the documentation. I'm using a Keypad button to display the built-in keypad popup, and I want to use the number entered as a channel selection. I do this all the time with G4's - they send a string out with the name of the keypad display button suffixed with the number entered. I am hoping a G3 is similar, but I can't find a reference.

Looks like 'KEYP-' with the entered number appended is what comes back from the panel. Same thing as G4.

Thanks

The difference with G4 is that you can name the prefix by renaming the button. I'll give it a try ... sure wish I actually had a panel to test, I hate programming this stuff blind to find out on site it doesn't work the way I thought.

Will this work?

You can always save your G3 panel as HTML and test as a virtual panel in a Web browser.

Yeah, I actually thought of that of that after I posted ... heh, and after I ripped my shop apart looking for a panel.
