Keymaps & locales
Match the recorded text to the keyboard's layout, and calibrate unusual layouts.
Op deze pagina
A keyboard sends the same signals regardless of the language printed on its keys — the layout decides which character each key produces. The USBLogger applies the layout you choose so the recorded text reads as it was typed.
Built-in layouts
The USBLogger ships with a broad set of built-in layouts (around two dozen), including common ones such as:
- US English, UK English
- German (Germany and Switzerland)
- French, Spanish, Italian
- Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Simplified Chinese
Select the layout that matches the keyboard under test. If none is selected, the device defaults to US English.
Calibration
For a keyboard that none of the built-in layouts covers, run calibration:
Start calibration
Open the calibration section of the interface and begin the guided run.
Type the prompted characters
The device asks you to type a short, fixed set of characters (letters, digits, and common symbols) once each, on the keyboard being tested.
Save the result
The USBLogger builds a custom mapping from what you typed and stores it on the device. From then on it uses that mapping to produce readable text for this keyboard.
A saved calibration stays on the device until you replace it, so you only need to do this once per unusual keyboard.
