Popup keyboard layout
The layout of characters shown on the Alphanumeric popup keyboard can be set for existing or new
languages. The layout is updated when a new language is selected.
All keyboard layouts are saved in files with .KBD extension and have the same name as the selected
language.
Note: If there is no valid keyboard layout for the selected language then the default layout in
SCSDEFS.KBD is used. This already caters for all the western languages supported.
To create a new keyboard layout:
1, 2, 3…
1. Copy the file “scsdefs.kbd” in the installed application folder (default is
“C:\Program Files\Omron\CX-Supervisor”) and rename the copy with the
language name, e.g. “American.kbd”.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the file to add each character for each key
3. Save the new keyboard layout
4. The Runtime will now automatically update the layout when the new language is
selected.
