Introduction to the KE-USB36FS
The KE-USB36FS Keyboard Encoder is a product designed to
interface switches or other switching devices to a computer's USB
port. The KE-USB36FS appears as both a keyboard and a mouse
to your computer system. The 36 inputs on the KE-USB36FS
header may be programmed to emulate any key from a standard
keyboard. In addition, any of the inputs may be programmed to
emulate the Left, Middle, and Right mouse buttons.
The KE-USB36FS features an auxiliary interface port which allows
direct connection of the signals from a trackball to the unit. The
signals received on this port from the trackball are converted into

Using the Rotary-5 unit with the KE-USB36FS provides interface for
five quadrature type rotary switches. Keystrokes can be assigned
for movement detected on the Rotary-5 inputs for each direction.
Attaching our Relay-8 to the Auxiliary port provides control of the
relay outputs through the USB connection. Samples of software are
provided for integrating relay control into the user's program.
