WKdemo tutorial
WK3DEMO is a general purpose test
application that can exercise all of WKUSB’s
capabilities:

Once the application is installed, start it up and
you will see the dialog box show at left. All you
need to do to get started is to configure the
serial communications port. Click on Setup and
the com port selection list is shown. Only the
currently active USB com ports are shown.
Select a WK com port identified by WKscan.
You can click on ? in the upper right for a very
brief help menu.
Click on Open to connect to WKUSB. If all is
well, the Open pushbutton will change to Close
and the WK IC version will be displayed. Click
on Setup again and this time you the Setup
dialog box will be displayed as shown on the
next page. This presents all of WK3’s various
configuration options which can be modified to
your requirements.
After you have installed WKscan, start it
up and you will see the dialog box
shown at left. Click Scan and WKscan
will display all of the serial ports found
on the system. The ports will either be
identified as unassigned, in use, or
attached to a WK device. In this example
we have a WinKeyer1 device on COM2
and a WinKeyer3 device on COM4.
Yes, multiple WKs can be operated from
a single PC using two applications.
