The EEPROM version of the Keyat Keyboard Port Adapter allows you to talk to a PC's keyboard port using either an RS-232 or an RS-485 interface the the same way as the FA1. In addition, the FA1-E has extended features which make use of it's EEPROM memory, plus an extended command set to make emulating keyboard operations easier. The ability to store and execute key strings makes the Keyat more powerful than ever. Features:
• Translates ASCII - Accepts printable ASCII and encoded ASCII Hex and maps the ASCII to the correct key codes.
• Accepts DOS Scan Codes - You can send DOS scan codes which the Keyat will interpret into the correct key codes.
• Accepts Keyboard Key Codes - You can send key codes directly, which allows you to simulate any key combination possible.
• Status Indicator - LED status of 232/485 Port.
• No Power Supply Needed - Runs off of the 5 volt power from the connected computer.
• DIN cable provided - The DIN extension cable is provided, just plug it in and go.
• Multi-Drop Polling - Poll addressing allows you to send address specific commands to one of up to 58 Keyat Keyboard Port Adapters. You can then send keyboard commands to other Keyat devices while the keystrokes are being processed.
• Boot without a Keyboard - Allow you system to boot without a keyboard plugged into it. Additional FA1-E (EEPROM Version) Features:
• Store and execute key strings - The Keyat FA1-E can store key strings up to 31 characters in length in non-volatile EEPROM memory. The Keyat FA1-E has memory for 32 strings. These strings can be executed either automatically or with a command.
• Chain stored key strings - The Keyat FA1-E can chain together stored key strings, to allow long key sequences.
• Autoexec Strings - The Keyat FA1-E can detect when a PC has "booted" and send an initialization string to the computer.
• Power-up Strings - The Keyat FA1-E can detect when a power cycling has occurred, and initialize itself to the proper mode.
• Programmable key delays - Program delays between keys, from 1-99 seconds. This is a tool to simplify keyboard emulation.
• Re-map ASCII characters - Re-map ASCII characters coming from the serial port. This can ease the job of integrating a serial device onto the keyboard port.
• Serial ASCII Keyboard - This maps the AT keyboard keys to a simple ascii character set which are sent to the RS-232/RS-485 port. This can be used to create a simple ASCII RS-232/RS-485 serial keyboard. It can also make monitoring keyboard usage easier.
• Special DIP Switch Settings - Three special DIP switch settings now allow you to automatically enable either monitor, immediate, or ASCII monitor modes. This can save a step in initializing the Keyat.
• Send down or up DOS Scan Codes - You can now specify up or down (make or break) DOS scan code sequences. Before you had to send key code sequences to do this. This makes handling multiple key actions (such as shift, ctrl and alt) simpler.
• Send DOS scan codes from character mode - It used to be that you had to go to scan code mode to send scan codes. Now you stay in character mode and send a scan code.
• Disable commands - This allows protection against data accidentally being recognized as commands. Keyat Applications
• Testing software - Test software by sending keystrokes which have been 'scripted' on another computer and sent through a serial port. You can automate your testing which will save time, improve reliability and guarantee reproducible results.
• Multi-system testing - Using the RS-485 capability of the Keyat allows centrally controlled testing of up to 58 systems simultaneously. Using the Keyat's addressable mode, you can send keystrokes to any individual PC, or all the PC's simultaneously.
• Remote Access - The Keyat Keyboard Port Adapter allows remote access to a system where other methods are not available.
• Monitoring Keyboard Sessions - Use Keyat to monitor keyboard sessions for developing regression test data, or for detecting key strokes which cause problems with target software.
• Serial Keyboard - Convert a keyboard to a serial RS-232 or RS-485 device. This can be used for systems which don't have an AT style keyboard port, but still need a QWERTY style keyboard.
• Attaching Input Devices - Connect RS-232 and RS-485 devices to a computer, such as bar code scanners, magnetic card readers and measurement devices. This way not communications ports are needed and the appplication can read the input just as if it came from the keyboard
• Boot without a Keyboard - The Keyat allows the PC system to boot without a keyboard plugged into it.  Specifications
