1.
Power down the PC.
2.
Connect the cables as indicated in Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, or Figure 2-4. One end of the Y
cable plugs into the PC. The other end plugs into the keyboard; however, if a keyboard is
not required, leave this end unconnected. Pin lists with illustrations for the 5-pin and 6-
pin connectors are provided in Tables 2-1 and 2-2.
Since the MiniWedge Reader provides its own clock, it is not necessary to connect a
keyboard. This can be beneficial in applications that use a touch screen for user interface
or when the interface is for a portable computer.
Note
If multiple devices are connected to the PC via the keyboard port, the
MiniWedge Reader must be connected closest to the PC.
