Character Set

In this dialog it’s about the character set to enter and read in key information. To get the possibility to enter all possible characters apart from the “normal” character set (ASCII character) which can be entered by the keyboard, you can choose another character set (hexadecimal character), so any two characters of which are combined to one key character by the program. With this character set key characters can be generated which can not or only laboriously generated in a direct way by keyboard buttons.

Using the checkbox field on the right above the key input field, you can decide if you want to enter or read key information direct or using a dataset in hexadecimal form or via ASCII characters. In dialogue entering a direct key you have the possibility to change the character set at any time i.e. from ASCII characters to hexadecimal characters and vice versa. With it ASCII characters automatically are expanded to its hexadecimal values or in opposite direction hexadecimal values are condensed to ASCII characters. The latter possibility only exists if there is no character value 00_hex in the key (internally interpreted as the end of a string).
