1.0 General
This utility is an editor to program the programmable keyboard.
Before starting this utility, connect the standard PC keyboard into
the pass through keyboard port of keyboard. All the programming
keystrokes are performed on the standard PC keyboard.
After accessing the edit mode, Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock on
the standard PC keyboard are turned off.
When finishing programming the keyboard, the keyboard will
perform power-on reset.
After power on, the programmable keyboard will not operate until the
key (of lock) is firstly turned to the OFF lock position and then
turned to any other lock position.
The programmable keyboard uses membrane technology, when multiple
keys are depressed, in some cases it will cause a nonidentified switch
closure, the keyboard will then output X'00' to the system.
1.1 Program Function
The utility can be started with:
K78C [-repeat] [-nokb] [-noclick] [-delay=] [-extkb=] [-program=]
K78M
K120C
K120M
K128C
-repeat -- turn key repeat on.
-nokb -- turn external keyboard off.
-noclick -- turn key click off.
-delay=nn -- define character output delay.
delay time = 3 * nn (ms), 1 <= nn <= 15
-extkb=cc -- choose country code.
cc = US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy
-program=file -- program the keyboard with the file name.
in this case, the utility does not start the
edit mode, but program the keyboard directly.
When the utility is started only with K78C.EXE, it will preset to be:
K78M.EXE
K120C.EXE
K120M.EXE
