Finally: Writing the keytable into the keyboard (Download)
Before starting the download, you should first of all save the new-created keytable using Menu File
→
Save or
Save as... to avoid data loss.
Execute the download as described below:
1. Select menu File
→
Update Keyboard
2. Choose the correct keyboard interface (see notes below)
3. Press OK and follow the next steps to complete the download.
Interface selection depending on the type of your keyboard:
• PS/2 (AT) – if your keyboard is connected via the PC's "normal" keyboard connector.
• USB – if your PrehKeyTec device is connected via USB.
Please pay attention to the following points for a proper download:
• Do not move the mouse during downloading a keytable.
• During downloading keyboard inputs are not possible.
• If the download fails, follow the troubleshooting in the Annex – and see the WinProgrammer's Readme.
• In case of PS/2 the PrehKeyTec device must always be the first device, directly plugged into the computer.
• In case of PS/2 on Windows NT/2000/XP/etc the PrehKeyTec PS/2 keyboard driver must be installed
properly. The appropriate driver will be installed automatically by our DriverPack. On Windows 2000/XP/etc.
the device manager should list a "PrehKeyTec PS/2 Keyboard" at branch "keyboards" after rebooting.
• Downloading to an USB-connected PrehKeyTec device requires no special hardware drivers. Nevertheless
our DriverPack must be installed properly. Of course the operating system must support USB (minimum
Win98SE or Windows 2000) and the HID devices must be installed properly.
Functional test using some text editor
Afterwards, just start a text editor, such as the Windows Notepad or DOS Edit and try the things you programmed
on key position D01 and B02. Additionally press the new-created Shift and Ctrl key to get the appropriate output
on these layers.
Download problems - Check communication
If downloading the keytable is somehow not possible or the keyboard doesn't react as expected you should check
