keyboard with LabVIEW RT

[chucky]

we're porting a library/driver for one of our cards to LabVIEW RT. so far so good. registe/memory reads/writes working. used driver wizard to create inf/ini files. can see the card in the PXI chassis.

we have some test code that uses some keyboard input. i.e. entering a number or detecting a keyboard press. the controller can see the USB keyboard when you enter the BIOS.

is there anyway to use the keyboard after the controller boots into LabVIEW RT?

Chucky,

Unfortunatly, once you are booted into LabVIEW RT the USB port can only be used for storage. 

How does your test code detect the keyboard input?  

If you have a controller with a serial COM port you may be able to get a serial keyboard and use a program that uses VISA commands to read the inputs to the COM port.
