List of cables
ES60/C01 - Keyboard
This is a standard keyboard cable, and it is usually fixed to the
keyboard. A keyboard is n
ot provided with the Simrad ES60 Fish
finding echo sounder system. If you wish to connect a keyboard,
you must provide it yourself. The connection depends on the
make and model of the computer. PS/2 and USB plugs are the
most common types.
The ES60 Marine Computer is provided with a single PS/2
connector to allow for both keyboard and mouse connection. If
you wish to use only a mouse, it can be connected directly to this
input. If you wish to use both a keyboard and a mouse, a special
adapter is provided w ith the computer. Both the keyboard and
the mouse must be equipped with a PS/2 connector. The ES60
Marine Computer is however also equipped with several USB
sockets. The most convenient method would normally be to use
these for both keyboard and mouse connections.
