DS KEYBOARD TECHNIC GmbH User's Manual: W30 -W60 -W90 keyboard systems General: The W30-W60-W90 type keyboard systems produced by DS Keyboard Technic are freely programmable keyblocks with an IBM compatible interface. These keyboards are also available with a serial RS 232 interface. Programming is done by a TEACH program and a PC. All keys can be programmed with a single code or strings up to 30 digits. In case of the serial versions, ASCII codes can be input as a clear text, as a decimal code or a hexadecimal code. Maximum memory 16 KB. System configuration: IBM compatible PC with colour monitor and mouse. The TEACH program is available in the following languages: German (D), English (E) and French (F). How it is done: Put in the disk in "a" drive and call up the different versions in the following way: Version 30: TEACH blank language (D, E, or F) blank 30 Version 60: TEACH blank language (D, E, or F) blank 60 Version 90: TEACH blank language (D, E, or F) blank 90 Now you can see a standard MF2 keyboard layout on the screen. Underneath you can see the matrix of the keyboard to be programmed. 1. Complete new installation Put the cursor on the position to be programmed. Click the left mouse key (the field changes the colour) and move the cursor on the symbol of the standard keyboard which you wish to program. Click on this symbol with the left mouse key so that it is tranferred to the matrix. If you wish to transfer a string do as before. But in this case you will have to select the symbols with the right mouse key up to the final symbol. Then complete the programming with the left mouse key. The whole string appears once again under the matrix as a clear text. In this way the complete matrix can be programmed. 2. Store If you wish to store the prepared table, click on the field "Store". Put in a name and store the table. 3. Load If you wish to use a stored table, click on "Load" and give in the name of the table. On your disk a matrix with the file name "Standard" is already stored. 4. Program If the desired table is finished, click on "Program" and follow the user's instructions. Put in the keyboard to be programmed instead of the standard keyboard and click on the left mouse key. The programming will run (about 80 sec.) After programming, leave the Teach program via ESC. Now you have to setback your computer and start once again - .the programmed keyboard is ready for work. 5. Keyboard read If you wish to read a keyboard which has already been programmed, click on this field with the left mouse key and follow the user's instructions. 6. Repeat delay Here you can adjust the delay time. Click on the word "repeat delay" with the left mouse key to count upwards and with the right mouse key to count downwards 7. Miscellaneous In case of a string, you can program a word with capital and small letters. At first program the shift key and the first letter than once again the shift key. The following letters are programmed as small ones. (Remark: This difference is not indicated unterneath the standard matrix). If you wish to work with the Alt key or the Ctrl key, proceed similarly. Optionally: Serial Version In case of the serial version the keyboard is provided with a 25 position D Sub socket. The keyboard is connected to COM 2 of the PC. Distribution voltage (+ 5V) is effected via an adapter that is plugged in between PC and standard keyboard. How it is done: Put in the disk in "a" drive and call up the S-TEACH program. (In case of the different versions resp. country layouts act as described above. Just replace TEACH by S-TEACH). Now the matrix of the keyboard to be programmed appears and next to it a column with the numbered keys 1 to 30. Go with the arrow key to the key number you wish to program. Open the table with ENTER. Now you can put in ASCII symbols as a clear text or also as decimal or hexadecimal values. Both have to be marked with the symbols < >. Example: letter A clear text A decimal <65> hexadecimal <41> Programming will be done by the point "Program" . Baud rate: You can adjust baud rates from 300 to 9600. Put in the letter "b" until the desired value appears.
