2. Understanding the Operating Parameters
This section describes the operating parameters of the Keyboard.
2.1. Intercharacter Delay
Intercharacter delay is the time period that the keyboard will wait before transmitting
the next character. For some applications, an intercharacter delay is necessary in
order for a system to keep pace with data transmitted from the Keyboard.
If incomplete data is sent from the Keyboard, increasing the value of this parameter
may correct the problem.
