8.4 Keys

8.4.1 Key 1: Inverting the keyboard

The keyboard can be used:
• By right-handed users (joystick on the right, jog

shuttle on the left);

• By left-handed users (joystick on the left, jog

shuttle on the right).

To invert the keyboard compared to the current
settings:
• Enter setup and press

1

. The keyboard will save

the setting and return to its normal operating
mode.

• Remove the caption panel, paying attention to the

fastening tabs. Rotate it by 180° and then replace
it.

• Adjust the feet on the bottom of the keyboard to

obtain the inclination required for each different
surface.

• Carefully remove the USB cable from the bottom

of the keyboard and insert it in the serpentine,
making sure it is not a nuisance to the operator.

The inversion of the keyboard has nothing to do with
the PC application which must not be changed.
The orientation of the keyboard can be set using
VCOM commands

[Orientation+] and

[Orientation-].

8.4.2 Key 3: Joystick calibration

The joystick can be calibrated if it malfunctions.
To calibrate the joystick:
Enter setup and press

3

. The LEDs in the centre of

the keyboard will flicker during the calibration phase.
Move the joystick for a few seconds as far as it will go,
in both a horizontal and vertical direction. Rotate the
knob clockwise and counter clockwise several times,
as far as it will go.
Release the joystick to assess its position when idle.
After 5 seconds of inactivity, the keyboard will save
the values and confirm the calibration.

8 Configuration

8.1 Identification ID

The keyboard has no ID as the serial ports are
identified universally by the OS. Even when more
than one keyboard is connected via a USB HUB to the
same USB port on the PC, they will be recognized as
separate serial ports (for instance COM3 and COM4).

8.2 Setup procedure

A specific key sequence allows users to access the
setup phase to:
• Set the keyboard orientation;
• Calibrate the joystick;
• Select the operating mode;
• Reset configuration to default values.

8.3 How to enter setup

• Press the

START

key;

• Press the

LEARN

key;

• Press the

ESC

key;

• Release the

ESC

key;

• Release the

LEARN

• Release the

key.

The key LEDs will light up when setup has been
accessed successfully:

ESC

: Exit without changes;

1

: Invert the keyboard;

3

: Calibrate the joystick;

4

and

7

: VCOM mode (with or without reset of

the lookup chart);

5

and

8

: JOYHID mode (with or without reset of

the lookup chart);

9

Functions which have flashing keys are to be
used very carefully as they could lead to apparent
malfunctions of the keyboard.
After any option has been selected, the setup
procedure terminates automatically.
