The KB5000 keyboard, working in conjunction with the KB5.EXE utility software, can perform the following powerful functions:

*Save programmed data as a template file (.TPL) in both the keyboard and the hard drive of the computer. To save programmed data to the keyboard use the W (Write to keyboard) option of the Data Transfer Menu. To save programmed data to the hard drive use the S (Save file to disk) option of the Data Transfer Menu.

*Load (L) a previously programmed template from the hard disk into the computer’s volatile RAM memory. The same template can then be written (W) into the non-volatile memory of the KB5000. This process, as an example, allows a restaurant to change from a breakfast menu to a lunch menu within 7 seconds.

*Enables the computer to read (R) a template stored in the KB5000. That template can then be saved (S) to the hard disk for future use.

*Display a list of templates that have been stored onto the hard disk within the KB5 directory. From the Data Transfer Menu select F for File List. The computer’s monitor will display the list of .TPL files stored in the KB5 directory.

*Interruption of the programming process to shell out to DOS (D) to perform other operations. To return to the programming process type EXIT at the DOS prompt.

NOTE: Never shell out of windows to work in this utility program.
