Using a Keyboard

Using a Keyboard
You can use an IBM PC-AT compatible keyboard with your analyzer. A
keyboard is useful when entering and editing names for files and
directories. It is also useful for creating and editing IBASIC programs.
All of the analyzer front panel hardkey and softkey functions can be
activated from a keyboard also. See "Front Panel Control using a
Keyboard" on page 4-84.

To Connect the Keyboard

To connect a keyboard, first turn off the analyzer. Then connect a PC-AT
compatible keyboard with a mini-DIN connector to the rear panel DIN
KEYBOARD connector. See Figure 1-4 on page 1-11 for the location of
the keyboard connector. Turn the analyzer back on after the keyboard
connector is fully inserted into the connector.
NOTE If your keyboard has a standard (large 5-pin) DIN connector, you will
need to use a DIN to mini-DIN (small 6-pin) adapter to connect the
keyboard to the analyzer. These adapters are available as
HP part no. 1252-4141. Contact the nearest HP sales or service office for
more information.
