Channel Settings Window
Each input has a number of different options which can be set
via the channel settings window. A list of these options along
with descriptions of how they pertain to the KEAD6 setup are
listed below.
Keyboard Enabled Checkbox:
Checking this box enables the keyboard
section and activates programming of
number of steps, hysteresis, preload,
key repeat, and periodic keystrokes as
described below. If this box is unchecked, the keyboard section
is disabled. If using the input as a joystick axis only, leave this
box unchecked.
Number of steps: When the input
is programmed to send keystrokes,
each channel can be set into several
different modes listed below.
• Under step mode, the channel
becomes sectioned into a number of
equal parts, where each section can
be assigned a different keystroke. The
number of sections can be set to 2, 4,
8, 16, or 32.
• Under directional mode, the channel has two different sections:
up and down. When the potentiometer is increasing in value, the
keystroke assigned to the up section is produced, and when the
potentiometer is decreasing in value, the keystroke assigned to
the down section is produced.
Hysteresis: This setting adjusts
the size of the overlap between
different sections. A keystroke will not
be produced until the channel value
reaches a certain distance past the
border. This distance can be set to low,
medium, or high. If the potentiometer
used is very precise, this setting
