Introduction to the KE-USB36FS
The KE-USB36FS Keyboard Encoder is a product designed to
interface switches or other switching devices to a computer’s USB
port. The KE-USB36FS appears as both a keyboard and a mouse
to your computer system. The 36 inputs on the KE-USB36FS
header may be programmed to emulate any key from a standard
keyboard. In addition, any of the inputs may be programmed to
emulate the Left, Middle, and Right mouse buttons.
The KE-USB36FS features an auxiliary interface port which allows
direct connection of the signals from a trackball to the unit. The
signals received on this port from the trackball are converted into
mouse cursor
movement on
the computer.
The Auxiliary
port may
a l t er n a tiv e l y
be used as a
communication
port to connect
to our Relay-8
output board
and/or our
Rotary-5 rotary
switch input
product.
Using the Rotary-5 unit with the KE-USB36FS provides interface for
five quadrature type rotary switches. Keystrokes can be assigned
for movement detected on the Rotary-5 inputs for each direction.
Attaching our Relay-8 to the Auxiliary port provides control of the
relay outputs through the USB connection. Samples of software are
provided for integrating relay control into the user’s program.

The KE-USB36FS uses standard system drivers for its functions.
When using the unit for the first time on your computer, USB
drivers will be loaded for the device.
Connection to the Computer
The KE-USB36FS attaches to the computer’s
USB port. Use a standard A-B Male/Male
type USB connecting cable from the KEUSB36FS to the USB port on the computer.
The KE-USB36FS may be connected
directly to the USB port on the computer or
through a compliant USB Hub.
Connect the type “B” end of the USB cable
into the KE-USB36FS and the type “A” end
into the computer or hub USB connector.
The KE-USB36FS may be
connected to the computer
with power on or off. If
“hot plugged,” the unit
will generally take several
seconds to become fully
active on your system.
Note: The first time you
use the KE-USB36FS with
a particular computer, the
system will load the appropriate drivers for the device. Follow
the default selections to load the standard drivers for the KEUSB36FS.
The KE-USB36FS is powered directly from the USB port, so no
external power is required.
The KE-USB36FS is compatible with all operating systems which
offer full support for standard USB keyboard and mouse devices.

Interfacing to the KE-USB36FS Input Header
The KE-USB36FS features a 2x20 header for interface to your input
devices. The input header is arranged with grounds on the end
pins of the header, and the 36 inputs between them. The board
is labeled near each header pin, designating the input number
that the pin represents. Each of the pins may be programmed
to emulate any key on a standard keyboard as well as the Left,
Middle, and Right mouse buttons.
Inputs on the KE-USB36FS header are activated by shorting them
to one of the
provided logic
grounds on the
header. When
activated, the
input will report the keystroke that it has been programmed to
emulate. If held active, the keystroke will repeat (if programmed
to repeat), based on the repeat rates and delays set within the
computer’s operating system.
The inputs are intended to handle mechanical switch inputs and
are debounced for that purpose. Logic drivers may be attached
to the inputs as well, provided they are an active low, logic level
signal. Refer to the Appendix A on specifications for the timing of
logic signals. Never attach any external power to the Inputs.
The KE-USB36FS input header is a dual row header with .100”
spaced pins. This format is suitable for many readily available
connectors on the market, including a typical IDE hard drive cable.
Since all the inputs require the same logic ground reference, the
ground may be “daisy chained” to the common of all the switches.
We also offer a breakout board (our part number IOX36) for
interfacing to the KE-USB36FS. This interface board attaches to
the KE-USB36FS header through an IDE cable (provided with the
IOX36). See the Accessories page of this manual for details on
the IOX36. Appendix B demonstrates connection techniques for
Figure 4 - The KE-USB36FS Input Header
a Trackball. Use the controls for either the X or Y axis for the
Spinner, according to the axis on which the Spinner movement is
to appear.
In order to accommodate the various brands of Trackballs, the
KE-USB36FS provides check boxes to reverse the Left-Right and
Up-Down movements of the Trackball. If you find that one or both
directions of your cursor movement from the Trackball are reversed,
check the appropriate box in the configuration program.
The KE-USB36FS uses the standard USB keyboard buffer length
which allows for up to six keys being reported “ON” at the same
time. This limitation only pertains to KE-USB36FS inputs that are
programmed with the repeat selection enabled. Use of the Left and
Right Shift, Left and Right Alt, Left and Right Control, and Windows
GUI keys, can be used in addition to the six key limitation.
The KE-USB36FS has the option of repeating an input that is held
on. If the input is selected to repeat, that input will count toward
the six key limit. Keys that are set to not produce a repeat will not
be subject to the 6 key limitation, provided there are no more
than 5 repeated keys currently active. Note that inputs defined as
mouse buttons do not figure into the six key limit.
Inputs on the KE-USB36FS which emulate a multiple key sequence,
such as Shift+F1, will automatically have repeat disabled.
Appendix C:
KE-USB36FS Read/Write from the Command Line
In addition to the KEUSB36FS.EXE configuration program, the

using switches with the KE-USB36FS.
Note: The KE-USB36FS allows all of the inputs to be activated
simultaneously.
Keyboard Status Light Signals
Keyboard status light drive is available with the KE-USB36FS. The
unit provides a 6 pin header for connection of the Num Lock,
Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock status LEDs. As shown below, the
Anode and Cathode connections for these diodes are labeled on
the board near the 6 pin
LED header.
As with the input header,
this LED header has
.100” spaced pins,
which are suitable for a
variety of connectors. Soldering to the pins is also an acceptable
way to attach wires for connection to your LEDs.
The KE-USB36FS will drive an LED directly from each Anode/
Cathode pair of wires. At 5 volts, the drive current is approximately
10 ma for each LED. The KE-USB36FS
has current limiting resistors built into
the unit, so connection to the user’s
LED may be made directly.

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.
Relay-8 Mode
When the auxiliary port is used with a Relay-8 unit, this configuration
allows for control of the eight relays on the Relay-8 through the
use of a provided .dll. The disk supplied with the KE-USB36FS
has a section which includes examples of integrating code into a
program which controls the Relay-8 output states.
Use the MTA100-8/5-36FF cable to attach from the KE-USB36FS
Auxiliary header to the Relay-8. The supplied KE-USB36FS
configuration program is used to enable the Relay-8 functions on
the auxiliary port.
To allow for Relay-8 control, the checkbox for “Relay-8 on Aux”
must be checked.
Refer to the Relay-8 manual for instructions on the use of the
Relay-8 terminal block outputs.
All Relay-8 control in this configuration is controlled through the
user’s program and the supplied .dll on the enclosed disk.
Select the checkbox to enable the Relay-8
functions in the KE-USB36FS configuration
program.
NOTE: It is permitted to use both a Relay-8
and a Rotary-5 unit at the same time. An
MTA100-5-36-FF cable, in addition to the
MTA100-8/5-36FF cable, is required to
connect both a Rotary-5 and a Relay-8 unit
to the KE-USB36FS Auxiliary port.
To save the configuration to disk, select File, then Save As, and
specify a file name. Configurations saved at a prior time may be
recalled by using the Open selection and choosing a file from the
selection list.
To save the configuration to the KE-USB36FS, select
Write to KEUSB36FS. Be sure that the KE-USB36FS is connected to
the computer prior to this step. Once loaded, the new configuration
will take effect on the KE-USB36FS.
The configuration is stored on the KE-USB36FS in non-volatile
memory. Once a configuration is loaded into the unit, it will
remain set (even during power off) until changed by the user.
To retrieve an existing configuration from the KE-USB36FS, select
File, then Read from KE-USB36FS. Be sure that the KE-USB36FS
is connected to the computer prior to this step. Once loaded, the
program window will display the device’s current configuration.
Note: Loading a configuration from the KE-USB36FS will overwrite
any existing configuration settings in the program window.
Configuring the KE-USB36FS
The KE-USB36FS is supplied with a utility program which allows
quick and easy setup of the inputs on the unit. Run the KEUSB36FS.
EXE utility program to start the configuration program. The menu
for the program appears as shown below.
The keystroke definitions for each input are shown in the key
definition box on the screen. The key definition box has the words
“Not Used” when the program initially starts. When inputs are
defined, the key definition box will then display the label for the
key to which that particular input is assigned.
To define a keystroke for an input, simply move to the line that
corresponds to the input number you wish to program, and select
the definition box to the right of the input number. Once selected,
an image of a standard keyboard is shown. Move your cursor to
the key which you want that particular input to emulate, and select
that key. The key you have selected will now appear in the key
definition box for the input number you have chosen.
12 13
Use this same technique to define each of the inputs that you wish
to use in your configuration. In addition to specifying an input
to emulate a keystroke, inputs may also be defined as either the
Left, Middle, or Right mouse button. Select Left, Middle, or Right
mouse buttons when the keyboard selection diagram is shown to
define an input as a mouse button.
Note that a Trackball need not be attached to emulate the mouse
buttons. The KE-USB36FS runs as both the mouse and the
keyboard at all times. If no Trackball device is connected to the
unit, no cursor movement will be initiated from the KE-USB36FS,
but the ability to emulate Left, Middle, or Right mouse buttons
remains.
Any input defined as a keystroke may also be combined with
a Ctrl, Alt, or Shift function, or any combination of those three
modifiers. To initiate a Shift with the specified keystroke, simply
check the box marked “Shift” on the same line as that input. For
example, if you wish to emulate a Shift+F1 key, define the input
as an “F1” keystroke, then check the Shift box on that line. An
input with additional Ctrl,Alt, or Shift functions automatically has
repeat disabled.
When configured as shown above, Input #1 would perform a
Shift function along with the F1 keystroke. This combination would
be the equivalent of holding down the shift key on your keyboard
and then pressing F1.
Note that the Control, Alt, and Shift selection boxes are used in
combination with a key. If an input is to emulate only a Control,
Alt, or Shift, do not use these check boxes. Use the keys from
the Key selection diagram to program an input as one of these
modifiers keys (Control, Alt, or Shift).
If the input is to produce a repeated keystroke when held active,
the check box for the repeat function may be selected. When
active, the repeat function will perform a repeat of the selected
key exactly how your standard keyboard would handle a key held
down. The computer keyboard settings dictate the repeat speed.
Trackball Adustments
When the KE-USB36FS Auxiliary port is used for a trackball, there
are several option sthat may be selected with checkboxes shown
on the KE-USB36FS configuration program screen. These options
allow for tailoring the trackball response to the type of trackball
When configured as shown above, Input #1 would perform a

to the KE-USB36FS.
The “Active High” setting is left
unchecked for most trackballs. If using
a vintage type trackball that can only
pull control lines high, check the box
for “Active High”.
Use the “Reverse X Axis” to transpose
the left/right movement of the trackball.
This setting allows for adaption of the
trackball type and orientation in a
particular application.
Use the “Reverse Y Axis” to transpose the up/down movement of
the trackball. This setting allows the trackball movement to be
adjusted for different types of trackballs and mounting.
The trackball adjusment selections only apply when the Auxiliary
input header is used for a trackball. If either the Rotary-5 or
Relay-8 checkboxes are selected, the trackball checkboxes are
disabled.
When a Rotary-5 and/or a Relay-8 unit is attached to the KEUSB36FS Auxiliary header, be sure to check the appropriate boxes
to enable the function for the device.
Refer to the manual sections for the Relay-8 Mode and Rotary-5
Mode when using those options.
Saving the Configuration
Once the configuration has been created, it is recommended that
the configuration be saved to disk. The KE-USB36FS program
provides an option for saving the configuration as a custom disk file,
so it may be recalled at a later time for loading or modification.

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 KEUSB36FS detected on the same computer system.
Select the device to write or read from the Multi Unit box by matching 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.

Appendix B:
Operating Tips
The KE-USB36FS is configured as 36 individual inputs, which
are activated by shorting them to the common logic Ground
provided on the header. Since these inputs are individual, they
are completely separate, and cannot produce “ghosting” as in a
matrix application.
Inputs may also be driven from logic gates, provided they do not
drive voltage above the USB 5V supply on the unit. The logic
signals must produce an active logic low signal for the appropriate
amount of time as listed in Appendix A.
The recommended maximum cable length from the KE-USB36FS
input header to the input devices is 10 feet. The recommended
maximum cable length of the USB cable from the computer or
Hub to the KE-USB36FS is 10 feet.
