3 Introduction
The WEMC-KEY232 is a freely programmable RS232
interface. Up to sixteen matrixed connection or eight direct
connections can be utilized. Using a terminal program for each
key input can be any serial command to be programmed.
Several commands, separated as required by wait commands
can be assigned to a switch input. This allows, for example a
button on a video projector to be turned on automatically and
after a programmable delay the projector is turned off again.
