SP Controls PixiePlus - Manual (Page 15)

V. Program PixiePlus cont’d
If the button did not seem to learn correctly, press any other button on the PixiePlus,
then press the target button again to rearm it, and repeat the learning procedure.
8. Repeat for Each Button: While still in learning mode, program and verify
each button.
9. Set a button to Macro Mode: If a button has been programmed with multiple
commands, the button may be configured to send all commands with a single but-
ton press. By default, buttons are configured to Round Robin mode.
After verification, and while still in learning mode, press and hold the button you
wish to set to Macro mode for approximately five seconds. The PixiePlus will beep
three times to indicate that it has now been set to Macro mode.
Each button must be independently set to Macro mode.
If a button is reprogrammed or the entire device is erased, the code will automati-
cally default back to Round Robin mode.
A button set to Macro mode that is pressed and held will repeat only the last code in
the macro. The button will send only one instance of each code, except the final
code. The final code will repeat for as long as the button is held.
There is a 600 millisecond delay between each code in the series. Some devices
may not be able to respond to multiple commands sent this frequently.
10. Controlling Multiple Units of the Same Device
One PixiePlus may send identical codes to multiple units of the same device without
any additional configuration. For example, you may control two identical projectors
with a single PixiePlus by adding an additional IR emitter and wiring it from the Pix-
iePlus to a second projector. A single button press on the PixiePlus will send identi-
cal codes to both devices, and the PixiePlus will control them in tandem.
11. Controlling Multiple Devices
Different buttons on a single PixiePlus may be programmed with codes from differ-
ent remote controls.
Example: You wish to control power and source selection on a projector, and vol-
ume on an IR-controllable amplifier.
To do so, wire one IR emitter to the LCD monitor and the second IR emitter to the
amplifier. Program the PixiePlus power and source buttons with the codes from the
LCD monitor remote control. Program the PixiePlus volume buttons with the volume
control codes from the amplifier remote control.
One PixiePlus may learn IR commands from remote controls from different devices.
Each button can be configured to send a single command (normal operation) or
multiple commands (macro mode) with a single button press.
