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.
