CHAPTER 6: Power Up and Configuration Menu Options

6.8 Changing Keyboard Layout Type

By selecting E from the main menu, the menu shown in Figure 8 is obtained. This is used to select the specific keyboard mapping the operator desires. Selection of F, G and H provide fixed keyboards shown on the previous pages. Programmable keyboards may be added as any of the selections A through E. By using a programmable selection, the operator can design the keyboard to his or her liking.

To change the keyboard used enter 2 then select the keyboard layout you desire from those listed.

If you prefer an unlisted keyboard type you should select one of the letters under programmable and enter the name (10 characters max). If the name is less than ten characters long, type carriage return or spaces to complete the ten character name. If your keyboard looks like one of the fixed keyboards then you should enter its letter as a response to “make new keyboard look like established name”.

NOTE

Selection of a blank entry from the programmable list may cause the A/S-4 to malfunction.

Names of programmable keyboards may be added, changed, or deleted by using selection 3 and 4.

If a programmable keyboard has been selected, the operator should now set up the keys arrangement as he or she wishes using selection F from the A/S-4’s main menu.
