Catalog Number 6189V-OB36
English
The 6189V-OB36 Digital Accessory Kit provides 36 solid state outputs to signal the
state of a subset of the keys on the bezel of the VersaView 1200W (catalog number
6180W-12XXXXX) computer. The Digital Output Accessory works with all Series B
and later revisions of the 1200W computer.
When a key on the bezel of the 1200W computer is pressed, the keystroke is
received by the operating system and/or by application software that is running on
the computer. This normal key function is not affected by the installation or
removal of the Digital Output Accessory. The Digital Output Accessory provides an
additional electrical signaling function for keys on the bezel that are classified as
special function keys (A1 to A8, F1 to F20, K1 to K8). When the Digital Output
Accessory is installed, keystrokes of the special function keys are sent to both the
operating system and the output accessory. The accessory has outputs that are
dedicated to signal the state of the special function keys.
This document provides instructions on how to install and use the Digital Output
Accessory with the 1200W computer.
