You may use almost any ASCII text editor to accomplish this task in DOS. You may use the special CEDEQ editor in Windows. 2.1.3 First time operation A.Turn off your computer. B.Unplug your regular keyboard from the computer's keyboard port. C.Plug your regular keyboard into the port located at the top of the P-120 TouchPad. Take note that you may also use the P-120 as a stand alone unit, provided that the TouchPad is set up accordingly. (for explanation see 2.2.3) D.Plug the TouchPad into the keyboard port of the computer. Note: A 5 pins DIN connector is a standard feature of the P-120. If the computer plug has another type of configuration adapters will be required. E.Turn on your computer. The red light on the TouchPad indicates correct installation and operation. Your TouchPad is now ready to operate. Sample macro files have been transferred into the memory of the TouchPad. Please read the instructions on programming in Chapter 4 to create your own files and transfer them into the memory of the P-120 TouchPad. 2.2 TouchPad - Special keys Keys 111 and 232 to 240 (the bottom row when the TouchPad's SHIFT key is held down) cannot be programmed because they are special TouchPad internal keys. They are presented below: 2.2.1 SHIFT key Key 111 The SHIFT key operates in the same way as a shift key on the standard keyboard. While holding it down you may activate keys numbered 121 to 230. For example SHIFT-Key 1 is key #121. The TouchPad's SHIFT key allows up to 230 programmable keys. The Shift key always needs to be held down to use the control keys. It is also the only key (#111) that activates the macro when the key is released instead of activating it when it is pressed. 2.2.2 Audible feedback keys SHIFT-112 key or key # 232 labeled [sd hi] SHIFT-113 key or key # 233 labeled [sd md] SHIFT-114 key or key # 234 labeled [sd lo] With one of these keys you can select the sound intensity of the audible feedback. You can choose [sd hi] for a high sound, a medium sound with [sd md] or [sd lo] for a lower sound. The semi-permanent setting you have determined becomes your new default setting. 2.2.3 Regular keyboard control keys SHIFT-115 key or key # 235 labeled [kboff] SHIFT-116 key or key # 236 labeled [kbon] By pressing one of these keys you can disable your regular keyboard or turn it back on. It is better that you set your [kboff] if you use the TouchPad stand alone. The semi-permanent setting you have determined becomes your new default setting. 2.2.4 Load key SHIFT-117 key or key # 237 labeled [load] This key will be used when transferring a macro file into the P- 120. (Chapter 4) 2.2.5 Stencil keys SHIFT-118 key or key # 238 labeled [st01] SHIFT-119 key or key # 239 labeled [st02] The P-120 TouchPad can store up to two sets of macro files in its memory. Pressing one of these keys selects which set of macro files is active. Stencil 1 is always the default stencil when the power is turned on. 2.2.6 Escape key SHIFT-120 key or key # 240 labeled [esc] To stop a macro in progress, you will use this TouchPad key. _______________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 3 Operating Instructions _______________________________________________________________ 3.1 TouchPad - setup software The programming software for the CEDEQ P-120 TouchPad is called POS41.EXE for DOS and POS.EXE for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. It performs a function for DOS and two for Windows. In DOS, POS41.EXE is used to transfer the macro file to the memory of the TouchPad. You have to use your own editor to create and edit the macro file. In Windows, POS.EXE is used to edit and transfer the macro file to the memory of the TouchPad. 3.2 TouchPad - internal memory Your TouchPad comes with a standard feature of 8 Kb of internal non volatile memory. This space is available for your two stencils. 3.3 Macro - delay Under some circumstances a certain delay may be required between each character sent to the computer. For this reason you can invoke a delay in a macro. Exemple : <010=>123<DELAY 5000>456<RDELAY>789 When you press key 10 "123" will use the pre-set delay, "456" will use the <DELAY 5000> and "789" will use the power on delay. In this exemple, "<DELAY 5000>" will give you a delay of about ten seconds before "4", before "5" and before "6" of the macro. You may program your delay with a number between 0 and 65535. A normal fast delay should be 25. You may insert a delay command in any macro file. Remember however that the last delay invoked will prevail until it is changed or until you restart the TouchPad. At this time the delay is fixed with the first line of your macro file. The normal delay is the following <000=><DELAY 25>. 3.4 Macro - repetition (optional) A repeat macro may be programmed. This three part macro will be activated by an introduction when you press a key, maintained by holding the key down and concluded by releasing the key. Exemple : <010=>123<RE->456<-PEAT>789 When you press key 10 "123" will open the macro, "456" will be repeated until you release the key and "789" will close the macro. To achieve maximum flexibility you may add delays anywhere within this macro. (see 3.3) _______________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 4 Programming your TouchPad _______________________________________________________________ 4.1 The position of the TouchPad keys Key number 001 is at the top left-hand corner and key #120 is at the bottom right-hand corner. The TouchPad's SHIFT key adds 120 to the key number. Key #001 then becomes the key #121, and so on. This provides 110 additional keys. As said earlier, keys 231 to 240 cannot be programmed being internal function keys.

SHIFT, CTRL and ALT have to be released when they are no longer required. Entering the same control command a second time in a macro file will release it. For instance the "<SHIFT>a<SHIFT>" command simulates the "<SHIFT>" key on the regular keyboard while pressing the "a" where the second "<SHIFT>" is used for releasing it. Take note that macro commands are not case sensitive. If you use a keyboard with a different layout or if a macro is used on different systems it also makes sense to use "<ALT><Nx><Nx><Nx><ALT>" to generate characters like "/", "#", "?" or any other characters that have different positions on different keyboards. For instance, a macro that uses "/" would work on all keyboards only if the "/" had been generated with the next command : <ALT><N4><N7><ALT> representing ASCII 47 code. The best way to learn to program a macro is to analyze one of the macro files with a ".POS" extension supplied with your TouchPad. 4.3 Chart of the keyboard's different keys Regular syntax; Enhanced syntax; Alt left *= <alt> Alt right = <ealt> Back space = <bksp> Caps lock = <cap> Control left *= <ctrl> Control right = <ectrl> Delete = <del> Delete ** = <edel> Down = <dn> Down ** = <edn> End = <end> End ** = <eend> Enter = <enter> Escape = <esc> F1 = <f1> F2 = <f2> F3 = <f3> F4 = <f4> F5 = <f5> F6 = <f6> F7 = <f7> F8 = <f8> F9 = <f9> F10 = <f10> F11 = <f11> F12 = <f12> Home = <home> Home ** = <ehome> Insert = <ins> Insert ** = <eins> Left = <lf> Left ** = <elf> Num lock = <num> Num 0 = <n0> Num 1 = <n1> Num 2 = <n2> Num 3 = <n3> Num 4 = <n4> Num 5 = <n5> Num 6 = <n6> Num 7 = <n7> Num 8 = <n8> Num 9 = <n9> Num . = <n.> Num + = <n+> Num - = <n-> Num * = <n*> Num / = <n/> Num enter = <nenter> Page down = <pgdn> Page down** = <epgdn> Page up = <pgup> Page up ** = <epgup> Pos bracket = <<> or <>> Print screen = <prt> Right = <rg> Right ** = <erg> Scroll lock = <scrl> Shift left *= <shift> Shift right = <shifr> Tab = <tab> Up = <up> Up ** = <eup> All other keys are the regular keys. * Bi-stable mode ** Base case or (Shift + Num lock) 4.4 Sample file entries A. <000=><DELAY 25> Result: In macro files a normal default delay is forced between each keystroke. NOTE: The <000=><DELAY X> command should always be the first entry in a macro file. A good choice is X = 25. B. <001=>this is a test Result: Every time the #001 key of the P-120 is used, the sentence "this is a test" will be displayed on the screen. C. <002=><CTRL><ALT><DEL> Result: This command will probably reboot your PC when you press key #002 on your P-120. D. <010=><SHIFT>ABC<SHIFT>ABC Result: "ABCabc" or "abcABC" depending of the state of uppercase mode when you press key #010 of the P-120. 4.5 Macro file creation and transfer in DOS STEP 1: Write the macro(s) and command(s) you need in your text editor. STEP 2: Save your new macro file following DOS regulations. The macro file name extension has to be ".POS". STEP 3: To transfer the macro file inside the memory of the TouchPad you have to type: POS filename stencilnumber Filename is the name you gave your macro file (without the .POS extension) and stencilnumber is either 1 for stencil number 1 or 2 for stencil number 2. If you have made a syntax error in your file, POS will detect it and notify you by displaying this message: "ERROR LINE NUMBER xxx" Note that the three X's represent the line (not the key) number where the error occurred. In that case re-open your macro file, find the line, correct the error and save it again. If you have no error you will see the following message on your screen: "WAITING FOR DOWNLOAD MODE" At this time you have to press "Shift"+"Load" to confirm the transfer process. see chapter 2.2.4 NOTE: Once a macro file has been downloaded, it will automatically replace what was previously loaded in the TouchPad's memory for that stencil position. 4.6 Macro file creation and transfer in Windows STEP 1: Write the macro(s) and command(s) you need in CEDEQ's specialized text editor. STEP 2: Follow Window procedures to save your new macro file. The macro file name extension must be ".POS". STEP 3: To transfer the macro file inside the memory of the TouchPad you have to click on either the download-1 or the download-2 icon. If you have made a syntax error in your file, POS will detect it and notify you by displaying this message: "ERROR LINE NUMBER xxx" Note that the three X's represent the line (not the key) number where the error occurred. In that case, find the line, correct the error and save it again. If you have no error you will see the following message on your screen: "WAITING FOR DOWNLOAD MODE" At this time you have to press "Shift"+"Load" to confirm the transfer process. see chapter 2.2.4 NOTE: Once a macro file has been downloaded, it will automatically replace what was previously loaded in the TouchPad's memory for that stencil position. _______________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 5 Technical Information _______________________________________________________________ Interface: Wedge "PC AT" 5-pin DIN connector Membrane: 120 positions, dust, water and static proof Memory: 8Kb serial EEPROM Dimensions: Approximately 8 X 10 X 1.5 inches Weight: Approximately 1.8 pounds Materiel: Case (ABS plastic), membrane (lexan) Consumption:100 milliwatts _______________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 6 Technical Assistance _______________________________________________________________ If you have any questions, comments, problems or suggestions concerning this product, please write to: CEDEQ INDUSTRIES Inc. 5193, Montee St-Hubert St-Hubert (Quebec), CANADA J3Y 1V8 Our support team will gladly answer any of your questions.
