Connect BrailleOperation of the Connect BraillePage 18For example, if you wanted to edit the ibm437 character set and store it as a new,customized character set, you would open the text editor supplied with Windows byselecting "Execute" from the Start menu, and then entering "Notepad" followed by {Enter}.Once the text editor is open, you can open an editable version of the ibm437.asc file byactivating the menu item "Open" from the File menu. More detailed information iscontained in your Operating System Manual.The file ibm437.asc will open and can be edited. Please do not modify the file structure,but you may change the Braille characters as desired. The Braille dot combinations aregiven as their number equivalents on each line, along with the designation of thecharacter. However, the first line in the file contains a description of the character set inthat file. The characters are in ASCII character order. You can modify the dot combinationsfor any character by changing the numbers. For example, if you want to represent the digit4 with dots 2 3 5 instead of dots 1 4 5 6, you would change the numbers 1 4 5 6 to 2 3 5.Please note that at least one space must be entered between the dot combinations andany comments, because otherwise the conversion of the Braille table while transferring itto the Connect Braille may fail.When you have finished changing characters, you can save the modifications under a newname.5.1.2.2 Loading Braille Character SetsAs mentioned above, nine additional Braille tables can be loaded into the Connect Braillein addition to the default character set. For example, if you have created a table under thedesignation Mytable.asc, you can load it into the Connect Braille with the HTCom program(StartStick). Start-up HTCom and activate "Load Braille Table." A dialog enables you tospecify the character set to be transferred by selecting or entering the name. Afterpressing the {Enter} key you can specify the Braille table slot where you want the table tobe saved. Pressing the {Enter} key again will initiate the file transfer.5.1.2.3 Selecting and Activating Braille TablesOnce you have activated the menu item 'Braille character sets' on the Connect Braille,you can select a character set and activate it by pressing [TRC]. The Connect Braillecontains only the standard character set of the current system language as shipped.Foreign language versions of the Connect Braille (e.g., Swedish, French etc.) also providecharacter sets for those languages. An X enclosed by square brackets indicates whichcharacter set is active. The menu consists of the following items:[X] Standard character set: The default character set, which is always available.Character set (1): [empty]toCharacter set (9): [empty]: Positions for the nine additional loadable character sets.The designation [empty] shows that there is currently no character set stored at thisposition. If a character set has been downloaded, a name appears instead of [empty],listing the file name under which the character set was loaded into the Connect Braille.If you attempt to activate an empty slot, the Connect Braille will respond with the message:'Braille set n is empty', where n is the number of the currently selected character set. |
