Rotary-5 Mode
Using the KE-USB36FS auxiliary port with a Rotary-5 unit provides
5 channels of rotary encoder switch interface. Each of the channels
can be programmed to send a keystroke for each direction of the
rotary encoder device attached to the Rotary-5.
Use the MTA100-8/5-36FF cable to attach from the KE-USB36FS
to the Rotary-5. The supplied KE-USB36FS configuration program
is used to enable the Rotary-5 function on the auxiliary port.
In this configuration, the KE-USB36FS delivers the required power
to the Rotary-5 for operation. Refer to the Rotary-5 manual for
instructions on connecting rotary encoders to the terminal block
connections on the board.
Under each rotary encoder channel, the keystroke for each
direction may be assigned under the “A” and “B” selections for
each channel.
Select the checkbox to enable the Rotary-5 functions in the KE-USB36FS configuration program.
Multiple KE-USB36FS Units
Virtually any number of KE-USB36FS units may be attached to the
same computer. The configuration program for the KE-USB36FS
will recognize up to 4 units on a system and allow for them to be
programmed individually.
If multiple KE-USB36FS units are detected when writing a configu-
ration to, or reading a configuration from a device, the program
will display a list of the individual serial numbers of the units. The
program will show anywhere from two, up to the first four KE-
USB36FS detected on the same computer system.
Select the device to write or read from the Multi Unit box by match-
ing the serial number on the screen to the serial number of the
device to be written or read. Each unit has a serial number tag
located on the top of the board near the Auxiliary input header.
