Connecting an External Keyboard
Caution:
Connect the keyboard only when the instrument is switched off
(STANDBY). Otherwise, proper functioning cannot be ensured due to interactions with
the firmware.
The R&S ESCI allows an external PC keyboard to be connected to the 6-pin PS/2 connector labelled
KEYBOARD on the front panel or to the USB interface on the rear panel.

The keyboard makes it easier to enter comments, file names, etc, when measurements are performed.
If the keyboard is to be connected to the PS/2 connector, the PSP-Z2 keyboard (Order No.
1091.4100.02, English) is recommended. This keyboard includes not only the PC keyboard but also a
trackball for controlling the mouse.
Keyboards and mouse devices in line with the USB standard 1.1 are suitable for connection to the USB
interface.
The keyboard (except for PSP-Z2, see above) will automatically be recognized after connection. The US
keyboard assignment is the default setting. Special settings such as refresh rate can be performed in
the Windows XP menu START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - KEYBOARD.
Chapter 8 contains the interface description for the connectors.
