Keyboard Layout

Keyboard Layout is designed for international use of the Luminex. An international keyboard usually

contains different keys, key positions and characters. Changes to the Keyboard Layout should only be

made when your steno keyboard layout uses a specific language steno theory.

1. From the Opening menu, touch Setup, More, Options.

2. Touch the Down/ Up sensors as necessary to highlight the Keyboard Layout option.

3. Touch the Change sensor to cycle through the available keyboard.

4. To display the Opening menu, touch OK, More, Quit.

USB Communication

The Luminex uses the same realtime USB protocol as the Diamante and élan Mira®; however, some

CAT systems look specifically for the writer model instead of the USB protocol. If your CAT software is

looking specifically for élan Mira protocol versus a standard USB protocol, the USB Communication

option allows you to switch the USB protocol from Standard to élan Mira. With that change, it enables

you to connect your CAT system to the Luminex via USB cable for realtime communication.

The USB Communication option only affects realtime communication via USB. Virtual USB serial port

communication is not available if this change is made. It does not affect exporting an RTF/CRE

dictionary to the Luminex via USB cable.

Selecting Mira Emulation may resolve connections issues when writing realtime via a USB connection

with a CAT software system other than Case CATalyst. Selecting Mira Emulation does not cause the

loss of any functionality, it simply gives the writer a different USB identifier that other software may

recognize and understand. You may also want to try Mira Emulation if you are using software other

than Case CATalyst and you are not able to reconnect after disconnecting for sidebar conversations.

To change the USB Communications option:

1. From the Opening Menu, touch Setup, More, Options.

2. Use the Down/ Up sensors to highlight the USB Communication (Writer will Reset if

Changed): field.

3. Touch Change to switch to Mira Emulation or Standard. Standard is the default selection. A USB

Communication message displays indicating that changing the setting requires the writer to

restart.

4. Do one of following:

Touch Accept to change the setting. The Luminex automatically resets and displays the

Opening menu.

Touch Cancel to retain the current setting and return to the Options screen.
