User Function 1 - Local Keyboard Test
User function 1 can be used as a local test to ensure
that all the keyboard's LEDs and switches are in
working order. This
automatically calibrate the center position of the
analog joystick on TC8553 and TC8555 type
keyboards. Upon entering this test, the keyboard will
beep and all the LEDs will light for about two
seconds. The USER should note if there are any LED
failures during this time.
Each key may be pressed to display a unique code
number associated with that key. Follow the table
below to ensure that all keys are properly being
processed by the keyboard. Values for TC8550A,
TC8553, and TC8551A type keyboards are listed in
column "A". Values for TC8554 and TC8555 type
keyboards are listed in column "B". Push the USER
key last, as this will cause the keyboard to exit from
the test mode.
If the log-on system feature has been selected by the
system installer, the same local test may be initiated
while the keyboard is not "ON LINE" by pressing the
"*" key.
