| Abstract | Problems associated with the entry of air-ground-air messages via keyboard for transmission by Data Link are discussed. The ARINC proposal for a keyboard is presented, and an alternative method for coding keys is proposed for comparative evaluation. A sizeable vocabulary of messages requiring a minimum of keying is developed and justified. An alternative layout for a keyboard is proposed and its rationale explained. Some display problems are noted. Plans for experimental evaluation of several keyboard codes and layouts are noted. |
