Simplified Layer Concept "EasyLayer"
A simplified layer concept was developed for the MCI keyboard family. This new layer concept is independent
from the PCs attributes – like also the Fn-Layer. Now you can easily switch between those new layers.
NEW
Existing keytables using the "classic" layer concept via Shift, Control, etc. can still be used – even in parallel.
Advantages:
• Up to 16 different Layers.
• Switching between those layers using programming macro. Example: {EasyLayer2}
• Switching layers also possible from the outside by special PC commands.
Requirements:
• MCI Family Keyboard with Firmware 605/3090 or newer
• WinProgrammer V2.3 (MWXC32.DLL 4.0.41.4 or newer)
Example:
Assignment Output
AlwaysActive
(EasyLayer0)
X X
EasyLayer1 A A
EasyLayer2 X
EasyLayer3 B B
EasyLayer4 X
WinProgrammer
In the WinProgrammer these layers can be created by
defining customized layers named "EasyLayer0" up to
"EasyLayer15".
"Easylayer0" is active when no other layers are "firing" –
similar to the AlwaysActive Layer.
Therefore "Easylayer0" does not need to be defined.

Additional Comments:
• After starting the keyboard, "EasyLayer1" is active
• On "AlwaysActive" layer the default output can be programmed. Codes placed here are output if no
assignments are placed on the currently active layer.
• In combination with the feature "programmable keylock" \P layers can now easily be switched using the
keylock (see page ª21 for details). An example can be found in the WinProg folder "Keytable".
• Using the command EF 5A XX the EasyLayerXX (XX = 0x00..0x0F) can be activated from the PC.
• To restore default layer definitions, please close all windows and select File
→ Default Configuration.
