5. 22 Introduction IRC IRCommander allows the user to create a virtual IR Infra red remote control keypad on a PC running Microsoft Windows It must be used with the Corvo Code Cap 10 interface hardware device which learns stores and emits IR codes through mini emitters attached to the equipment being controlled The virtual keypad features 50 zones each consisting of 9 source keys initially called S1 though S4 any 9 of which can be included in the active layout These keys like all others can emit an IR command or macro sequence of IR commands but they also can cause all the other command keys to change to a new keypad layout which is specific to the source device being selected These source specific layouts are defined as Source Keypad Layout SKL 41 command keys that are specific to the selected source Each key can store and emit an IR command or macro A marquis message band which displays permanently or momentarily a text message that corresponds to the key that is pressed The message text is user programmable for each key A Configure command which opens the IRC menu allowing all aspects of setting up the application to the user s specific requirements A background image to the keypad called a skin Under the option section of the configure menu the user can select one of four background images Also additional background images can be created by the user and then made available by placing them in the skins direct

Using the IR Database Manager to learn the IR Commands from the original equipment which you plan to control with the IRCommander software a b Activate the PC software and select the learning function IR Database Manager After making sure that the original remote control containing the IR code s to be learned has fresh batteries place it approximately 2 inches 50 MM from and pointing at the IR detector window of the Code Cap 10 Press the Learn command on the PC followed by pressing continuously the button on the IR remote control to be learned As soon as the remote control button is pressed the red IR receive LED begins flashing and within several seconds the green LED will flash once indicating the code has been learned Should the green LED not flash repeat the procedure trying to move the IR remote control closer or further away from the Code Cap 10 It may also be helpful to try longer or shorter durations of the original code Some IR codes because of their duration pulse width or carrier frequency are difficult to learn so some patience and experimentation may be necessary Using the Layout Manager assign IR commands previously learned to keys as required Also at this time you can configure the keys as desired with text key cap images and functionalities Once keys are configured to your requirements exit the Layout Manager The IRCommander is now ready for use 18 Trouble Shooting Problem Imported RCL
7. Cap 10 The output from any key can be individually programmed to activate any combination of these output ports This feature overcomes the age old problem of controlling several identical machines which respond to the same IR codes Each IR command can be programmed to repeat as long as the key is pressed or to emit the code only once For example pressing the volume button would keep repeating the code until the mouse click key is lifted whereas selecting the number key 2 would only send the code once Communications with the PC can be set to any available Comm port Key caps can be made invisible so only essential keys for a given SKL remain visible This makes for varied clear layouts for each SKL Also each source key can be set to be invisible when not required System Requirements 15 MB of free hard drive capacity for program installation A minimum of 1 MB of hard drive capacity for user data Windows 98 Win ME Win NT or Win 2000 operating system A free communications port A CRT monitor capable of displaying at least 800x600 images A CPU speed of at least 120 MHz NAER DE Backward Compatibility previous IRCommander Users Only Evaluation of the V1 00 and Beta Test Software made it necessary to modify a number of important coding procedures to achieve a much improved result in terms of operational features and stability Regretfully these modifications have the effect of making IR Code learning SKLs and RCL
