Users can program the encoder to work with keypads with any layout and assign arbitrary key codes or MACROs(a sequence of characters); up to 8 macros per key.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

• Electronic controls
• Electronic instruments
• Point-of-sale terminals
• Custom keyboards

KEY BENEFITS:

• Works as PC/AT, PC/XT, or RS232 encoder. Produces "Make" and "Break" codes for PC interface, "Make" codes for RS232.
• Provides up to three macros per key.
• Supports non-standard upper-shift and lower-shift combinations.
• Programmable through keyboard port.

• All interface parameters (keypad pinout, typematic period, key codes, macros) are stored in EEPROM and can be changed any time.
• Can operate in parallel with standard keyboard or another encoder.
• More than one keypad can be connected to USE150.
• Supports switch matrices with dimensions from 1x23 to 12x12 - up to 144 keys.
• Optional buzzer provides audio feedback.
