14 B&R KCF Editor
The B&R KCF Editor can be used as a simple alternative to the B&R Key Editor. The function keys and LEDs can
also be adjusted to the application software with it. Unlike B&R Key Editor, operation does not take place via the
graphic display, but via a simple Windows dialog box. Therefore the B&R KCF Editor can be used for devices that
are not yet supported in the B&R Key Editor. The B&R KCF Editor is a portable application and can be started on
the target device without prior installation e.g. directly from a USB flash drive. An installed ADI driver is required
for the full range of functions.
