Starting KBM.EXE

In case that the program KBM.EXE is executed for off-line programming, that is executing KBM.EXE on a normal PC compatible machine without the programmable keyboard attached, the program will ask a question on the display as the following:

Fig. 5 - 3 - 5

The user should select 4 for a KB-3100 series or standard PST programmable

keyboard. If any key other than number 1 to 4 is pressed, the program will be terminated automatically. The alternatives 1, 2 and 3 are designed for KB-2010 and KB-2100 series programmable keyboards and early basic type of PST products respectively and are not applicable in the KB-3100 series.

However, if the programmable keyboard is connected to the system when entering the KBM.EXE, the program will auto-detect the type and size of the programmable keyboard and skip this menu to start reading after getting confirmation, the current contents of the programmable keyboard for programming. However, a question like that in Fig. 5-3-6 will show up to confirm the intention of the user, as from time to time, the user may want to start programming from a “blank” base. In that case, the user should press the “ESC” key to the question in Fig. 5-3-6.
