HID device (keyboard) pressed keys does not appear in UniStream when should

[ORSO2001]

hi All,

so...i need to manage an external "numeric keypad"; so I already bought a standard one (I think)...the keypad has the numbers from 0 to 9, the operator "+, - /, *" has the dot "." , also has a "DEL", "recall Calculator", "Enter", "bloc num" buttons.

I tried the example program that add the pushed button of the keypad to a string that is displaied in the HMI; when I connect th eexternal keypad it is recognized as HID device and the display ask to reboot (I did).

so...the numeric buttons are recognized and properly added to the string; the operators are recognized and added to the string but all the others are "dropped"...also the "." is dropped...there is a way to check what is the data sent by the keypad to the PLC (USB port) by a HID device?

at the end i need to couple, at the "dropped" buttons, some special function.

hope tha is clear...thanks

Hi ORSO2001,
When we have  problem in HID device we typically ask the keyboard key data information, data accepted by Unitronics tool called HDRecorder
