Using the Unity Computer Access Functions in Windows.
Your ECO will do computer access with the ECO Windows computer or with an external computer. The settings for computer access are in the Output Menu. Find the Output Menu by using the Menu Key on the status bar, or go to the device ToolBox and select Output Menu.
To practice the internal computer access features in Unity 60 Sequenced, first be sure that your computer access is on, and set to internal. On the status bar there is an indicator that is yellow if the internal computer access is on.
ECO Computer Access
To begin computer access with ECO Unity 60,
1. Select the Pages key, and then ECO COMP key: Example using Unity 60 1-Hit Pages Page
Or
2. Select Choose Activity, and then COMPUTER key: Example using Unity 60 1-Hit Computer Access activity row
Either way brings you to the ECO computer programs page.
When you select the ECO COMP key from either PAGE or Activity row, it turns on the Internal Computer Access in the output menu. There is a key in the computer activity row that turns off the internal computer access.
Selecting the External computer access key turns on external computer access in the output menu, and opens the external computer access activity row. You can use this row if you are using an external computer with your ECO. .
In the Computer access row we have keys that open Word Pad and Outlook Express pages for ECO internal computer access. The OK key in this row takes you back one page. The SCREEN key allows you to look at your ECO desktop by taking the number of core rows down to 4 rows. Selecting the SCREEN key again brings back the full number of core rows and hides the computer application behind it.
When you select ECO COMP from either Pages or the Computer activity row, you go to the computer programs page.
ECO Unity 60 Computer Programs page
This page shows just four rows of the computer programs page so that you can see your computer applications on the ECO. If you select the Go Back key on the top left, you go back to the Unity 60 PAGES page. If you select the CORE key at the top right, you return to Core Vocabulary with the Computer Activity Row at the top.
On the Computer Programs Page, the light blue outlining means that this key is linked to and opens up another page. The solid light green keys are tools for ECO computer operations. The light green key labeled refresh is for returning the computer focus to an open window on your desktop. When you select Refresh, it sends the mouse cursor to top center of the ECO desktop, activates MOUSE DOWN, and then MOUSE UP. The light green key marked CLOSE will open up options for managing window sizes and closing applications. With the CLOSE key, you can minimize, maximize, reset the size, or close any open windows.
The key labeled TOGGLE allows you to switch between open applications. You may also use the TOGGLE key to “wake up” an application that has lost its focus.
There are two MOUSE pages on this page. You may choose to clear the key that you are not using. Most applications have a link to the Mouse page for scanning and direct select. If you are using Madentec Tracker for headpointing, you may want to copy and paste the key for the headpointing mouse to other locations. Plug in a mouse to your ECO and do a right click to find the menu for Setup, Copy, Cut, and Paste.
There are many keys on the computer programs page for applications that you may not choose to use. You may either hide these unused keys, or clear them out to make room for other page links.

You may clear out or hide applications that you are not using.
Using the Run-Program Tool to link the ECO2 Software to a Specific Software Program
Many Windows Programs are currently linked under your Computer Program Page in the Unity software on your ECO. Some examples are Wordpad, Solitaire, and Windows Media Player. If you load a specific software program into your ECO, you can also create a link from your ECO software directly to your program. We will be using the Unity 60 Sequenced Computer Program Page tools to show you how you can also link your custom software to a page. Many custom computer pages have been created with Run-Program tools linked within the custom pages. If you select the Solitaire key located on the Unity 60 Sequenced Computer Program page, you will then go to the 60int Comp Sol Page where the Solitaire Run-Program tool is programmed.
What is the RUN PROGRAM tool?
This is the tool that tells your device what computer application you want to run. Use it when storing your own applications.
Using the <RUN PROGRAM> Tool
You can add programs or single files to blank keys in your Activity Row or a Page and tell your communication device to open them by storing them with the Tool <RUN PROGRAM>
Below are examples of <RUN PROGRAM> commands.
Instructions for Adding a Run Program Tool to your Computer Program Page:
Note: You must know the location where your software is stored on your hard drive in order to link the program.
1. Go to the Page you would like to link your Software to.
2. Select the #2 key (Set Up Key) on the top of the ECO case. Next choose the key you wish to modify.
3. Select Spell Message, or Define Key Function. Notice the main programming keys are light blue to help make programming easy for you.
3a. If the key you selected already has an assignment, select CLEAR DISPLAY to erase it.
4. Select INSERT TOOL - located in the top row of keys on the left side of your spelling overlay. (You must be using a QWERTY spelling overlay. ) 
. This key will take you to a long list of available tools within the ECO.
5. Choose the Tool you wish to insert. If you are creating a macro, you may need to insert several tools to get the ECO to perform the full task you are asking it to do. This example shows how the Solitaire link has been programmed. Insert Tool must be selected everytime a tool is to be added so you can select the function from the Tools List.
You will notice additional tools in this macro, such as the Key-Mode-On tool. This function will minimize the ECO software to half screen so you can see the Solitaire window open.
The tool Run-Program will allow you to link to the new software you loaded. You must know your path to link to your program. Here you see the link to Solitaire is C:WINDOWSSystem32sol.exe
If you use scanning and Auditory Prompts, you may want to insert the Prompt Marker tool so the unit will speak the Prompt instead of the whole macro.
You also see a Set-Page link that next will take you to the 60int Comp Sol page which is the Solitaire page that works specifically with the Solitaire game.
Once again, the Key-Mode-On tool finishes the macro to take the ECO software to half screen so you will see the Solitaire window.
6. Select OK.
7. Select CHANGE ICON. Select an icon from one of the categories to represent the tool.
8. Select CHANGE LABEL. Type the name of the label you want and select OK.
9. Select OK to exit OR select CHOOSE NEXT KEY TO DEFINE to modify another key.
10. Now, try your macro out. Did it work. If yes, Well Done! If no, please follow these steps and modify your key to verify all the commands have been added.
