1 INTRODUCTION
The Philips KBD-SFTCFG (IntuiKey Configuration Software) is used to customize the text displays and Command Script (CCL) macro associations of Philips IntuiKey Series keyboards.
The KBD-SFTCFG creates IntuiKey Configuration (.int) files which contain one or more language tables. In general, a language table is a collection of text that an IntuiKey keyboard displays on its LCDs plus a collection of commands that allow IntuiKey keyboards to execute Command Script (CCL) macros on a Philips Allegiant®matrix switcher/controller system.
Although IntuiKey keyboards can store no more than 6 language tables at once, IntuiKey Configuration (.int) files can hold as many language tables as the PC’s resources will allow. When an IntuiKey keyboard has been connected to a PC with an RS-232 interface cable, language tables can be transferred between the KBD-SFTCFG software and the keyboard.
When a new IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file is created, it contains 6 default language tables. The language tables are identical in function, but their text has been translated into different languages including English, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, and Italian. This text can be customized as needed (perhaps translated into yet other languages) using any characters available in the keyboard’s font (see Appendix A).

If an Allegiant software package (LTC 8059/00 or LTC 8850/00) will be used simultaneously with the KBD-SFTCFG, a second COM port must be available on the PC to interface with the Allegiant system’s console port. Refer to the manual provided with the Allegiant software for complete information.
6.3 Keyboard Preparation
First verify that the keyboard’s firmware version is 1.01 or higher. The firmware version can be read from the IntuiKey keyboard’s main menu when it is first powered up. If this is not the case, the keyboard will require an update of its firmware before it can be used with the KBD-SFTCFG. Updating the IntuiKey keyboard’s firmware requires the use of the IntuiKey Firmware Update Utility which is available from the Software Updates section of Philips CSI’s Web site (http://www.philipscsi.com).
IMPORTANT: Before the IntuiKey keyboard will respond to external RS-232 communication, it must be placed in bootloader
mode. This is done by entering the IntuiKey keyboard’s Firmware Upgrade menu which is accessed from the Keyboard Control
option of the main Product List selection screen. When prompted for the password, press the 1 and 0 numeric keypad buttons simultaneously. The keyboard will then be in bootloader mode.
Figure 3 – IntuiKey Keyboard Bootloader Menu Access
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to enter bootloader mode when the keyboard is in a state where the menu selections are not visible or are otherwise unavailable. In this situation, bootloader mode can be entered directly by simultaneously pressing the 1 and 0 numeric keypad buttons while the power/data cable is attached. The buttons must be released immediately when the keyboard begins to power up and initialize. For keyboards with bootloader version 1.01 or higher, skip the next paragraph.
For keyboard bootloader version 1.00 only, you must now press the Clr button, power off/on the keyboard again, allow several seconds for it to boot up to a menu, then power it off/on while
pressing the 1 and 0 numeric keypad buttons as the power/data cable is attached. Again, release the buttons immediately when the keyboard begins to power up and initialize.
The keyboard will now be able to communicate with the KBD-SFTCFG.
7 KBD-SFTCFG STARTUP
To start the KBD-SFTCFG, go to the Windows®START menu and select Programs | IntuiKey | IntuiKey Configuration Software. The KBD-SFTCFG always starts in an empty state; i.e., with no IntuiKey Configuration (.int) files opened for editing:
To create a new IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file, select File | New. To open an existing IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file, select File | Open.
The KBD-SFTCFG can support a maximum of 16 concurrently opened .int files. Each file contains the following:
One or more language tables
An optional path to an Allegiant server (.alg) file
•A selection of a PC COM port (for RS-232 communication with the keyboard)
New IntuiKey Configuration (.int) files are created from another type of file called a language table template (LTT). If more than one LTT is available when attempting to create a new .int file, a list of LTT names is presented so that the appropriate one can be selected:
Each LTT published by Philips CSI is given a unique name. The name simply lists what language tables the LTT supports. Names end with a semicolon, followed by a ‘Meta Data Schema’ number that is used to identify its compatibility with different keyboard firmware versions. It is important to select only a

Language Table that is compatible with the keyboard firmware. Language Table compatibility information can be found in the table in Appendix D.
Whenever a customized Language Table file is saved, it is recommended to include the appropriate Meta Data Schema number at the end of its file name. Meta Data Schema numbers of Language Tables already loaded into the KBD-SFTCFG program can be determined by selecting the Property option found under the program’s File menu.
8 KBD-SFTCFG VIEWS
The KBD-SFTCFG’s main screen is divided into two views. The left pane contains a tree control that allows a user to index through a set of language tables (and their main subsections). The right pane displays a form that corresponds to the subsection of the language table that’s currently selected in the tree control.
8.1 Tree Control (Left Pane)
The tree’s root node is labeled Language Tables. The root node’s immediate subnodes (language table nodes) represent the language tables contained in the IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file (e.g.: 1 – English).
Each language table node has four immediate subnodes which represent its major subdivisions. They are labeled as follows:
Miscellaneous Strings, Error Messages, User Functions, and Softkey Menus.
The Softkey Menus node has several subnodes which represent the language table’s softkey menus. Softkey menu nodes have labels that generally describe the collective functionality of their 14 softkeys (e.g. 31 – Camera Functions).
If a tree node represents a portion of a language table’s contents, then selecting it will cause those contents to be displayed in a form in the KBD-SFTCFG’s right pane.
8.2 Forms (Right Pane)
The KBD-SFTCFG’s right pane contains forms which display portions of a language table’s contents organized into groups of edit boxes and buttons. Each group appears directly beneath one or more lines of descriptive text which explains their significance.
If the language table is not intended to be modified (i.e., read­only), then its forms’ buttons and edit boxes will be disabled. 1 - English is a read-only table and serves as a reference against which other tables can be compared after they have been modified.
8.2.1 Language Table Forms
Language table forms are displayed when a language table node has been selected in the tree control. This form displays the language table’s name (Table Description) which will appear in the keyboard’s Language Select softkey menu. More information about customizing language table names is included in a later section.
8.2.2 Miscellaneous String Forms
These forms display the language table’s miscellaneous strings (string is another name for a text message). A keyboard will display these strings on its LCDs at various places and times during operation.
8.2.3 Error Message Forms
These forms display the language table’s error messages. A keyboard will display these messages on its LCDs to indicate various types of system and user related errors.
8.2.4 User Function Forms
These forms display the language table’s user functions. User functions correspond to various Allegiant system programming features. Refer to the Allegiant manual for complete information.
8
8.2.5 Softkey Menu Forms
These forms display the language table’s softkey menus and appear whenever a subnode of the Softkey Menus node has been selected in the tree control.
Softkey menu form 1 (1 – Product Table) represents the language table’s Product Table softkey menu which lists all of the devices a keyboard can control. This menu is displayed by a keyboard when its Prod keypad button has been pressed.
Softkey menu forms 2 – 79 represent the bulk of the language table’s menus (NOTE: several menu forms from 2 – 79 are not populated). These are used to control features of one or more of the products listed in the language table’s Product Table.
Softkey menu forms 80 and 83 – 94 are used to configure softkeys so that keyboards can activate (CCL) Command Script macros on Allegiant matrix switcher/controller systems. More information about configuring a language table’s softkeys to activate Command Script macros is covered in a later section.

10 USING THE KBD-SFTCFG
In general, the KBD-SFTCFG (IntuiKey Configuration Software) allows users to achieve the following:
• Customize the text of softkey menu buttons and diagnostic messages. This can range from making a few minor changes to translating an entire language table (over 750 items) into another language.
• Configure softkeys so that keyboards can activate (CCL) Command Script macros on Allegiant matrix switcher/controller systems.
The subsections that follow explain how these and related tasks can be performed.
10.1 Why the 1 – English Language Table Cannot be Modified
The language table 1 – English serves as a reference point against which all other language tables are compared. It ensures that no matter how dramatically other language tables are customized, a
default configuration will always be available on the keyboard.
1 – English is the only language table that can be downloaded to
a keyboard’s first language table slot. It is also the only language table that cannot be overwritten during an upload operation.
Users who wish to work with the 1 – English language table’s data must do so by creating a copy of it and then modifying the copy.
10.2 Editing Text
Any language table text that can be customized will appear in an edit box in one of the language table’s form views. Only characters supported by the keyboard’s font can be typed into a form’s edit box.
The following should be considered when editing text:
10.2.1 Text Alignment
The alignment of text is significant, because it determines how that text will be displayed on a keyboard’s LCDs. When text is customized, it’s recommended that the original alignment be preserved to ensure consistency with other text fields being displayed.
10.2.2 Inputting Font Characters by their Numeric Codepoints
Because generating some of the keyboard font’s characters may be difficult with a standard PC keyboard, the KBD-STFCFG allows text to be edited by inputting the characters’ numbers (known as codepoints or font-points) instead (see Appendix A for a listing of codepoints). This is done using the Font-Point Character Entry dialog box.
When text is being modified in an edit box, the Font-Point dialog can be opened by holding down the Shift key and right­clicking the edit box or right-clicking the edit box and selecting Codepoints... from its context menu. If the edit box is a member of a group of edit boxes, the text from all of the edit boxes will appear in the Font-Point dialog.
10.3 Changing a Language Table’s Name
A language table’s name is customized by selecting a language table node in the tree control and modifying the language table form’s Table Description text. The tree control will display the new name when either the Apply button is clicked or a new tree node is selected.
Language table names are displayed in the keyboard’s Language Select softkey menu. It is recommended that language tables be given unique names to avoid confusion when selections are made from the Language Select menu.
10.4 Link Buttons
Pressing certain softkeys will cause the keyboard to display (link to) another softkey menu. In KBD-SFTCFG menu forms, all
softkeys that do this will have a link button next to them. The link button’s label will contain the name of the menu to which it links. Clicking a link button causes the tree control to automatically select the target menu (and thus display the target menu’s form). Link buttons provide a means to traverse a language table’s softkey menus just as they would be traversed when using a keyboard (see Appendix A of the IntuiKey Keyboard Manual for a complete graph of the keyboard’s menu structure).
Most link buttons’ labels are abbreviated because the button is too narrow to display the entire name of the menu to which they link. However, if the mouse pointer hovers over such a link button, a small tool-tip window with the entire name will appear nearby.
12
Sometimes a link button will link to more than one softkey menu. In this case, its button text is formatted as [#] – Links where # represents the total number of menus to which it links. Clicking such a link button invokes a dialog which contains one link button per every possible target menu. The button’s tool-tip will also display the complete list of target softkey menus.
10.5 Configuring Softkeys to Execute (CCL) Command Script Macros
The KBD-SFTCFG allows users to configure softkeys on menus 80 and 83 – 94 to activate (CCL) Command Scripts on Allegiant matrix switcher/controller systems.
These menus are organized so that 83 – 94 must be accessed through 80. The softkeys on 80 can be configured as either a Command Script or a link to a predetermined menu (83 – 94).
10.5.1 Assigning Macros
Any softkey on menus 80 and 83 – 94 can be assigned to execute a Command Script macro if it has a macro button. Clicking the macro button so that it’s in its down state will allow the user to enter a 6-digit (normal) macro in the accompanying edit box.
The softkey can also be configured as a 2-digit offset macro by clicking the small keypad button so that its in its down state. When offset macros are executed on the keyboard, the user is expected to enter an additional 4-digit number to complete the macro.
See Appendix C for more information on Command Script macros.
Refer to the Allegiant PC Software Manual and the Allegiant Command Console Language (CCL) Manual for more information on writing Command Script macros.
10.5.2 Organizing IntuiKey Configuration (.int) Files per Allegiant Server (.alg) Files
If the optional Allegiant software is installed on the PC, each IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file (which may contain several language tables) can be associated with a single Allegiant Server (.alg) filename. This is done so the user who’s configuring softkeys to execute Command Script macros can quickly refer back to the Allegiant Server (.alg) file that contains those Command Scripts.
Since only one Allegiant Server (.alg) filename can be stored in an IntuiKey Configuration (.int) file, it’s recommended that Command Script macro assignments to softkeys across all language tables in the .int file be limited to those appearing in the .alg file. Organizing .int files (collections of language tables) in this way will prevent confusion after several .int files are eventually created.
10.6 Uploading Language Tables
When a language table is uploaded from a keyboard, it can either be uploaded into a new language table (which is added to the bottom of the tree control) or uploaded into an existing language table.
When a keyboard language table is uploaded into a new table, all of the descriptive text in its form views will appear in English. E.g., if a Spanish language table is uploaded as a new table, its Spanish text will be described with English captions.
When a keyboard language table is uploaded into an existing table, the existing table’s descriptive text remains unchanged.

APPENDIX C – ALLEGIANT COMMAND SCRIPTS AND THE KBD-SFTCFG
Allegiant Command Scripts are entered using the Command Script table in the PC-based Allegiant Server software package. There are three distinct types of Allegiant macros which can be programmed using the KBD-SFTCFG software, downloaded into the keyboard, then activated using the IntuiKey keyboard’s softkey buttons.
Type 1: The Star function is the simplest macro. Only one of these types of macros can be configured in the Allegiant system. Any of the softkey Command Scripts can be used to activate the Star macro function by specifying the value 0 (zero) in the associated Command Script edit box (the default Star softkey menu can be found in the 80-Main Scripts tree form). To define the function associated with the Star button activation, refer to the first example in the Command Script table.
Type 2: There can be 999999 different standard macros. In this case, a softkey macro in the keyboard is assigned a unique 6 digit
number. The number corresponds to the macro number programmed into the Allegiant table. The sample below uses a standard macro which has been assigned the value 123456.
Type 3: The offset macro is the most powerful macro. There can only be 99 different offset macros, but each can include an additional 4 digit number which is passed into the Allegiant Command Script. This allows configurations which utilize the same general function, but includes variable camera, monitor, pre-position, and other values specified by the user. The sample below uses an offset macro which has been assigned the value 99.
An example of each of the three is shown below in the sample Command Script table below.
Refer to the Allegiant PC Software Manual and the Allegiant Command Console Language (CCL) Manual for more information on programming and using CCL commands.
