3.9 Querying the AdderView’s firmware version

For technical support reasons it may sometimes be desirable to know the firmware version of your AdderView. If the front panel key is held down whilst the AdderView is powered on then the firmware version will be displayed as a sequence of numbers and characters. The three digits of the firmware version are shown in sequence on the 7-segment display, one at a time, alternating with the letter F. When the firmware version has been displayed the AdderView will display and equals sign and resume normal operation. For example the following sequence would indicate firmware version 1.23.

F 1 F 2 F 3 =

3.10 PC and Macintosh keyboard equivalent key mappings

If you are connecting a mixture of IBM compatible PCs and Macintosh computers to the AdderView USB then you have several possible keyboard configuration options. You may decide to connect both a Macintosh and PC style keyboard to the AdderView and use the appropriate keyboard for the appropriate system. Alternatively you may wish to use the same keyboard to control both systems. In this case we recommend that you use a PC 104/105-key keyboard. This has more keys than the Macintosh keyboard and so is more suited to universal use.

The equivalent key mappings on the IBM PC 104/105 –key keyboard and the Apple keyboard are shown in the following table:
