6 B&R KCF Editor
The B&R KCF Editor can be used as a simple alternative to B&R Key Editor. This tool also allows function keys
and LEDs to be adapted to the application software. Unlike the B&R Key Editor, operation takes place in a simple
Windows dialog box instead of on a visual representation of the device. This makes it possible to use the B&R KCF
Editor for devices that are not yet supported by the B&R Key Editor. The B&R KCF Editor is a portable application
and can be launched on the target device without prior installation (directly from a USB flash drive, for example).
An installed ADI driver is required to use the software's full range of functions.
