NOTE The external PC-AT compatible keyboard requires a mini-DIN connector
The analyzer and the IBASIC editor work with IBM PC-AT compatible
keyboards (US only) that have a mini-DIN connector. Non-US language
keyboards will not cause an error, they simply will not be recognized as
different from the US keyboard. A compatible keyboard can be
purchased by ordering option 1CL with the analyzer. Keyboards with a
standard DIN connector will need a mini-DIN to DIN adapter, part
number 1252-4141.
The PC-AT keyboard, Figure 5-2, has four major key areas:
Typewriter keypad Used to enter text and numeric
characters.
Numeric keypad Used to enter numeric characters.
Cursor keypad Used to move to cursor up/down a line,
or left/right to the next or previous
character position.
Function keys F1 through F8 correspond to the
analyzer’s eight softkeys.
