ABSTRACT:
A data entry keypad assembly, comprising a keypad including an array of keys, and a positioning locator secured to the keypad to form a unitary keypad assembly therewith, whereby the keypad assembly is selectively positionable at a desired locus of a data field to permit accurate inputting of data by the keypad to a digital computer operatively coupled therewith. Data processing systems comprising a digital computer operatively connected to such keypad assembly are disclosed, together with a source code computer program operatively associable with a digital computer of a type employing an MS-DOS, or compatible, operating system, and arranged to actuate audio signal generating means, to provide audio feedback indicative of a specific key of the keypad being actuated, and to assist in minimizing data entry inputting errors. The keypad assembly, computer software, and data processing system of the invention have particular utility to the inputting of primary DNA nucleotide sequence data from autoradiograms into a digital computer for storage and retrieval, and/or processing thereof.
