3.9 Querying the AdderView’s firmware version
For technical support reasons it may sometimes be desirable to know the firmware
version of your AdderView. If the front panel key is held down whilst the AdderView
is powered on then the firmware version will be displayed as a sequence of numbers
and characters. The three digits of the firmware version are shown in sequence on
the 7-segment display, one at a time, alternating with the letter F. When the firmware
version has been displayed the AdderView will display and equals sign and resume
normal operation. For example the following sequence would indicate firmware
version 1.23.
F 1 F 2 F 3 =F 1 F 2 F 3 =
3.10 PC and Macintosh keyboard equivalent key mappings
If you are connecting a mixture of IBM compatible PCs and Macintosh computers to
the AdderView USB then you have several possible keyboard configuration options.
You may decide to connect both a Macintosh and PC style keyboard to the
AdderView and use the appropriate keyboard for the appropriate system.
Alternatively you may wish to use the same keyboard to control both systems. In this
case we recommend that you use a PC 104/105-key keyboard. This has more keys
than the Macintosh keyboard and so is more suited to universal use.
The equivalent key mappings on the IBM PC 104/105 –key keyboard and the Apple
keyboard are shown in the following table:
