First of all, install the WinProgrammer and also the keyboard drivers, if necessary. Please carefully read the important notes in the ReadMe file. Special themes about "advanced" programming you can find in the annex of this manual and also in the WinProgrammer's online help. If you have further problems when creating your keytable, our support team will certainly be able to help you. The best is to describe your problem in an email – and please send your keytable (MWF file) along with this email. Let' start... Figure 1 In the dialogue Keyboard Type you configure some basic keyboard settings: 1. Select keyboard group: The keyboard layouts are grouped on the register tabs Alpha, Numeric, Modules and OEM 2. Select your keyboard type: In our example we use a MCI 128, other layouts as appropriate. 3. Keyboard language and CapsLock behaviour: This setting must match the operating system's configuration on the target computer. Continue by pressing OK. Additional Information: For each type you will see an example picture. Additionally the selected keytable template will be displayed on the Desktop as a preview. For other countries, please see Language translation settings – MultiLanguage mode on page 12. Activate option OPOS / JavaPOS, if you intend to use our API or OPOS / JavaPOS services.

  • The PC Keyboard Chapter 20
    The PC Keyboard Chapter 20 The PC’s keyboard is the primary human input device on the system. Although it seems rather mun- dane, the keyboard is the primary input device for most software, so learning how to program the key- board properly is very important to application developers. IBM and countless keyboard manufacturers have produced numerous keyboards for PCs and com- patibles. Most modern keyboards provide at least 101 different keys and are reasonably compatible with the IBM PC/AT 101 Key Enhanced Keyboard. Those that do provide extra keys generally program those keys to emit a sequence of other keystrokes or allow the user to program a sequence of keystrokes on the extra keys. Since the 101 key keyboard is ubiquitous, we will assume its use in this chapter. When IBM first developed the PC, they used a very simple interface between the keyboard and the computer. When IBM introduced the PC/AT, they completely redesigned the keyboard interface. Since the introduction of the PC/AT, almost every keyboard has conformed to the PC/AT standard. Even when IBM introduced the PS/2 systems, the changes to the keyboard interface were minor and upwards compatible with the PC/AT design. Therefore, this chapter will also limit its attention to PC/AT compatible devices since so few PC/XT keyboards and systems are still in use. There are five main components to the keyboard we will consider in this chapter Ð basic keyboard information, the DOS interface, the BIOS interface, the int 9 keyboard interrupt service routine, and the hardware interface to the keyboard.

    S.No Practical Name Date Remark 1. To study motherboard. 2. Study of microprocessor. 3. To study SMPS and UPS. 4. To study the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. 5. To study working of keyboard and mouse. 6. To study different ports and slots. 7. To study various types of Cables & Connectors. 8. Study of monitor. 9. To study different types of printers. 10. To assemble a PC. 11. To study Floppy Disk Drive. Practical-1 Aim:-To study motherboard. Motherboard: The main circuit board of a microcomputer. The motherboard contains the connectors for attaching additional boards. Typically, the motherboard contains the CPU, BIOS, memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and parallel ports, expansion slots, and all the controllers required to control standard peripheral devices, such as the display screen, keyboard, and disk drive. Collectively, all these chips that reside on the motherboard are known as the motherboard's chipset. The motherboard is the primary component of the entire system. In addition to hardware the motherboard also contains some software .The system ROM actually contains three small but very critical programs these are post, the BIOS and the setup program. This device provides, even the C.P.U is enabled to function. In addition to hardware the motherboard also contain some software. The following is the picture of motherboard: 1. Mouse & keyboard: Keyboard Connectors are two types basically. All PCs have a Key board port connected directly to the motherboard. The oldest, but still quite common type, is a special DIN, and most PCs until recently retained this style connector. The AT-style keyboard connector is quickly disappearing, being replaced by the smaller mini DIN PS/2-style keyboard connector.

  • Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology for Diploma Studies
    Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology for Diploma Studies Unit-III 1. What is Keyboard? How it works? A keyboard is the set of typewriter-like keys that enables you to enter data into a computer. Computer keyboards are similar to electric-typewriter keyboards but contain additional keys. The keys on computer keyboards are often classified as follows: o Alphanumeric keys– letters and numbers o Punctuation keys – comma, period, semicolon, and so on. o Special keys – function keys, control keys, arrow keys, Caps Lock key, and so on. The processor in the keyboard analyzes the key matrix and determines what characters to send to the computer. It maintains these characters in its memory buffer and then sends the data. Many keyboards connect to the computer through a cable with a PS/2 or USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector. Regardless of which type of connector is used, the cable must carry power to the keyboard, and it must carry signals from the keyboard back to the computer. Wireless keyboards, on the other hand, connect to the computer through infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF) or Bluetooth connections. IR and RF connections are similar to what you'd find in a remote control. Regardless of which sort of signal they use, wireless keyboards require a receiver, either built in or plugged in to the USB port, to communicate with the computer. Since they don't have a physical connection to the computer, wireless keyboards have an AC power connection or use batteries for power. Whether it's through a cable or wireless, the signal from the keyboard is monitored by the computer's keyboard controller.
