    Quartech's IKB-1000 is a family of ruggedly constructed, industrial keyboards. Each member of the IKB family has been designed specifically for use with IBM PS/2, PC/AT, and PC/XT compatible computers. The IKB-1000 plugs directly into the computers keyboard port and does not require any computer resident program to function.

    (See section 2.1.1 for more details on macro keys). A simple software utility allows the user to create a file defining each key. The file can then be sent to the IKB-1000 via the computer's serial communication port. Since the IKB-1000 stores the data file in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM), you only have to program it once, but you can change the program as often as needed.

  • Page 6: Macro Key Sequence

    Select the Edit option from the top menu, to edit or create the key assignment file. 36 boxes are arranged on the screen to represent the 36 user defined keys provided on the IKB-1000. In the Editor, the arrow keys are used to choose which one of the 36 keys is to be assigned. Then simply press the key or key sequence that you want to be reproduced by the IKB-1000, and the IKB-1080 program will keep a record of it.

    The make scan code is sent when the key is pressed. When the key is released, the break scan code is sent. If the key is pressed and held down, the IKB-1000 sends the make code, delays for 500 ms, and begins sending the make code for the key at a rate of 10.9 codes per second.

    To gain access to the pocket in the keyboard overlay, it is necessary to withdraw the keyboard assembly from the IKB-1000 bezel. To do this, remove the 18, No.6, KEP nuts from the rear of the keyboard backing plate. The keyboard assembly can now be removed from the bezel.

    Scan Code sets (AT/XT Mode) The IKB-1000 will transmit either PS/2, AT (scan code set 2) or XT (scan code set 1) scan codes. If the keyboard apparently does not work, it may be set to transmit the wrong scan codes.
