The Add , Add File... , Modify , Delete , and Edit Data... buttons perform functions for a

Transmission Mode and Status Controls
The Transmission Mode radio buttons control how many times all streams are
transmitted once they are loaded to the module. You can transmit the entire
specification n times or continuously. The transmission mode is not part of the
Transmit Specification when saving to a file and must be set each time you load the
Transmit Specification.
The Transmission Status section provides information about the number of
activated streams, speed of transmission, and the amount of module memory used
by active streams.
Transmit Specification Control Buttons
The Load Module , Open Specs , and Save Specs buttons perform functions on a
complete Transmit Specification. Be sure to use the Load Module button to load the
specification to the module before you begin transmission. The Template button
allows you to use predefined data as a starting point for new stream. It also lets you
create Magic Packets
