Re: HP-50G keytime Message #6 Posted by James M. Prange (Michigan) on 7 Sept 2006, 4:02 p.m., in response to message #5 by Egan Ford
On early versions of the 49g+, the KEYTIME\-> and \->KEYTIME commands did nothing. But because of complaints about the keyboard, their functionality was restored. Since they work on my 49g+, and ROM revision 2.09 is shared by the 49g+ and 50g, I expect that they work on the 50g.
I suppose that these commands didn't work in the 48gII, but whether they've upgraded the ROM for later units, I wouldn't know. As far as I know. the ROM isn't updatable in the 48gII; that is, it really is Read Only Memory, not flash memory.
The KEYTIME value sets the time that a keypress is ignored after a press of the same key. The value is in ticks (8192 ticks = 1 second). The \->KEYTIME command will any accept "real" number or "exact integer", but the value is stored as an integer from 0 through 4096.
I normally use 512 (1/16 second), which works just fine for me.
Regards, James
