6.2.2 Adding a New Component to the IR Library (as shown
in Fig. 26)
New component IR files are easily added by clicking on the "Add
New" button. This brings up a new window titled "Add New
Component". In this window, you must first enter the manufacturer
name and model. The "Make" field defines the manufacturer of the
equipment. A drop-down menu allows you to choose a
manufacturer from the IR Library. Type the model number in the
"Model" field. The Type drop-down menu contains a large list of
components. Each is a template of common functions for that type of
equipment. Clicking on the type that matches the component will
add the type name in that field. If desired, you can add a type name
that is not listed in the drop-down menu.
Clicking on OK will automatically add the selected component and
associated functions to the IR Library.

6.2.3 Using the NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station Interface (as
shown in Fig. 27)
To record new IR codes, you will need the IR Learning Station
Interface. This is a powerful tool for setting up new IR Libraries for
use with the Configurator Software, and is part of the IR Learning
Station package. Capturing function codes and adding them to the
component IR Library is an easy process.
The Interface box is connected to your computer using one of the
RS232 connection cables, provided with the IR Learning Station
package. Note that in many cases, personal notebook computers do
not have a Db9 serial cable. In this case an RS232 to USB dongle
cable will be necessary.
The back panel of the Interface box has two IR outputs for testing
purposes. You can use the included IR emitter and attach it to the IR
window on the face of the source component or to the built-in IR
blaster, which, when aimed at the source equipment, will fire the IR
command.

6.2.4 Recording IR codes (as shown in Fig. 28)
When a new component is added to the IR Library, it is necessary to
record the IR codes associated with each function. To do this, connect
the Learning Station Interface as described above. Double-click on
the desired component from the IR Library page. This will open the
IR Library Editor. This window lists the complete set of functions for
that type of device.
To initiate the IR recording process, you can either double-click on a
function to be recorded or highlight the function and click on the
Record button. This will open the IR Library Record window. The
window will indicate that the Configurator is "Waiting for IR
Communications." To record a new code, simply point the
component's remote control at the IR receiver on the NuVo IR
Learning Station Interface. The first time you enter a code, the
Configurator determines if it is a "toggling function," which means
that the remote sends two commands back-to-back. This requires
that the function button be pressed four times in succession.
