Programming instructions for 20 position programmable keyboards.

This is for the next generation keyboard and must be specified when
ordering.  The regular programming of the 20 position keyboard is done
at EKI, not in the field.

To program the keyboard you edit the text file provided by EKI and then do a
 file transfer to the keyboard through Hyper Terminal. Communications between
 Hyper Terminal and the keyboard is set to 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits,
 and one stop bit, hardware control but only three wires are used.  The 
keyboard is plugged into the PS2 keyboard port or USB port to supply the power.
  The cable supplied with the keyboard is plugged into position marked by J1,
 the highlighted end of the connector faces the J1.

The format is as follows:
SOH	STX	Key Number	Data up to 32 characters 			ETX	EOT
   ^  	  ^	xx		xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx	   |	   ~

The text file that is being sent via Hyper Terminal is being sent in ASCII,
 the keyboard then converts this to PS2.  Codes that are not in the ASCII 
protocol can be inserted by adding a ` (the character usually to the left 
of the one key) in front of the codes as outlined below.  If the character 
is shifted to upper case in the text file then it will be shifted when 
converted by the keyboard.  Characters that are normally not shifted, 
like F10, can be shifted by following the codes outlined below.  But 
when you shift by the codes below then you must then unshift the code
 by placing the same shifted code where you want to unshift the code.  
The codes are case sensitive.  Example ^^01`C`5`C| will send a ctrl F5 from
 the 1st key position, the first ^ is only needed in the 1st position to 
start the keyboard. A second example ^10`A`S`6`S`A| will send an alt shift
 F6 from the 10th key position. A third example showing that the ~ is needed
 after the 20th position to stop the programming sequence is ^20`Aa`A|~ will
 send an alt a from the 20th key position

Key positions are programmed sequentially from one to twenty, any key that
 is not to be programmed must have the key number and control codes without 
text in the data field. 

Codes to insert for non ASCII codes or codes not available on a PC keyboard:
Character	Code		Character	Code		Character	Code
Enter or CR	`R	  	Tab		`T		ESC		`E
Back Space	`B		Right Arrow	`r		Left Arrow	`l
Up Arrow	`u		Down Arrow	`d		F1		`1
F2		`2		F3		`3		F4		`4
F5		`5		F6		`6		F7		`7
F8		`8		F9		`9		F10		`a
F11		`b		F12		`c		Page Up	`U
Page Down	`D		End		`e		Home		`h
Insert	`I		Shift		`S		Ctrl		`C
Alt		`A		Alt Gr	`G		><		`s
|		`|		~		`~		`		``
^		`^

These codes are only to program EKI keyboards, and EKI is not responsible
 for the use of this protocol or codes when used on another keyboard.
