Creating a Driver Command
19
5. Point the DVD’s remote control transmitter directly at the IR receiver on the
RC device.
6. Press the desired command on the remote control (for example, Play).
Button 6 on the RC device is now learning the IR command.
If the learning process is successful, button 6 on the RC device blinks several
times, pauses, and then all the buttons blink sequentially.
If the button did not accept the IR command (after about 10 seconds) or if an
incorrect command was read (for example, due to some kind of interference),
the RC device buttons blink twice simultaneously and then the device exits the
IR Learner mode. The last command will not be registered to the button.
To restart the IR Learner mode, repeat this procedure from step 3 onwards.
Note that:
•
The IR learning process overwrites any previous command or macro
on the selected button
•
Only one IR command can be written at a time, per button
•
Learned IR commands can be immediately tested by pressing the
buttons they were learned into; an act that will send the same IR
command over port IR1 (see note 9 below).
7. You can continue the learning process for each button, until each button has an
IR command, and you can also overwrite previously learned buttons.
In this way, an IR command is transmitted to each button and then can be read
in sequence to the driver.
8. To exit the IR learner state, wait several seconds without pressing any button,
until the lights cease to blink.
9. If the peripheral device (the DVD player in this example) is connected to the
RC device via the IR1 port, you can press the relevant button (button 63 in this
example) to verify that the command signal has been transmitted correctly.
7.2.2 Connect the RC Device to your PC
After writing the IR command to button 6, connect the RC device to your PC
to read the command data to the Kramer RC configuration program, as
described in section
6 .
