PC-Link Software
The Windows ® 95/98 PC-LINK software provided
with the RR-1090 remote can be used to work with
complete configuration files for the RR-1090 remote.
These configuration files contain a complete set of
options, command sets, macros, and custom labels
to fully customize a RR-1090 remote. The configu-
ration files can be saved to or opened from the hard
disk. They can also be uploaded from or downloaded
to the RR-1090 using the supplied serial cable. This
provides a convenient way to transfer the desired
programming to a number of RR-1090 remotes.
In addition, many of the configuration options for
the RR-1090 can be modified in the PC-LINK soft-
ware, a procedure that may be more convenient than
using the RR-1090’s own setup menus.
