I was having trouble finding a touchscreen monitor I liked to use for using with my CVS 1458RT, so I was wondering if it would be possible to control the front panel of a program I have loaded onto the CVS using a number keypad that plugs into the USB port, and just have a regular display monitor for my output. The only way I have seen to be able to control knobs and things on the front panel is with a mouse, but could you possibly replace that with the arrows on a keypad? Also, if you plugged in a keypad, would the CVS even register the keys that you are pressing correctly? My goal with this assembly is mobility, so I would rather not have to lug out a full-size keyboard and mouse along with the camera I am interfacing my CVS with.
