Establishing communication in Non Portable Mode

USB Keyboard Interface and Keyboard Wedge

To test communication as a keyboard (USB or traditional), all you need is a
program capable of accepting data from the keyboard – for example,
Windows Notepad. The key to testing communications is to keep it simple
– you don't want to have to determine whether it's your software or the
TriCoder causing a problem.
1. Plug the TriCoder interface cable into the TriCoder and into the proper
host computer port.
