Configuring the keyboard layout
It is assumed that the English keyboard layout is used in SINUMERIK Commissioning and for

If a different keyboard layout is set in Windows, this should therefore be changed before
commissioning the SIEMENS PC system or before using SINUMERIK Commissioning.
The setting of the keyboard layout as well as the display of the active keyboard layout is shown
in the Windows task bar.
