5 Explanation of
terminology
5.2.1 Driver and configuration files
Software and configuration files requested by the
Operating System during installation to recognize
peripherals.
5.2.2 MSD Device (Mass Storage
Device)
USB peripheral device used to store and back-up
data. The most common MSD device is the USB
PenDrive. It does not require the installation of drivers
as it is recognized directly by the Operating System.
5.2.3 HID Device (Human Interface
Device)
USB peripheral device used to exchange information
with human beings. The definition also includes PC
keyboards, mouse, video game joystick and controls.
The HID peripheral device does not require the
installation of drivers as it is recognized directly by
the Operating System.
5.2.4 CDC Device (Communication
Device Class)
USB peripheral device used to exchange information
via serial channels.
When connected, the CDC peripheral device is
recognized by the OS which installs it without the
need for a driver (when using Linux) or after reading
a configuration file supplied by the peripheral
manufacturer (Windows).
5.2.5 Virtual com port (VCOM)
CDC device that emulates a standard serial port. This
is managed via a series of simple and consolidated
standard programming techniques which are
available for most programming languages. The
Windows OS will request a configuration file in order
to recognize the device during installation.
5.2.6 Joystick HID (JOYHID)
USB joystick that is recognized as a standard video
games joystick.
4 Identification
4.1 Product description and type
designation
DCZ is a dedicated keyboard used to control software
programs on Personal Computers.
This keyboard simplifies and rationalizes the user
interface quite remarkably and adds a joystick
and jog shuttle to the control system. It has been
conceived so that it can be used by both right-
handed and left-handed users.
Every time the operator uses the keyboard, it will
generate an event:
• Pressing of a touch key;
• Release of a touch key;
• Movement of the joystick;
• Movement of the jog dial;
• Movement of the shuttle ring.
All keys are totally independent: the pressing
and release of keys is recognised, whatever the
combination used. The software application will
interpret the command.
The keyboard also has an internal buzzer and
back-lighting for the keys. The software application
manages the buzzer and back-lighting of keys.
It can be connected to a PC together with other
standard peripherals (standard keyboard, mouse,
videogame joystick etc.).
Patent Pending.

7 Installation
7.1 Installing the upper panel
In the standard keyboard the joystick is located on
the right and the jog shuttle on the left.

6.2 Safely disposing of
packaging material
The packaging material can all be recycled. The
installer technician will be responsible for separating

Bear in mind that if the material has to be returned
due to a fault, using the original packaging for its
transport is strongly recommended.
