Speed Programming
Import MX-900 Devices,
Complete With Macros or simply
Open MX-900 Files
Instead of reprogramming a similar system, installers can freely import
codes and macros from MX-900 files via Device Import, or simply open
an MX-900 file in MX-880 Editor and make modifications to it.
MX-880 Editor's unique Device Assign window enables macro steps to
be imported as well as IR commands.
Powerful Macro Programming Via
Nesting, Multiple Page Jumps and
Programmable Variables
Macro programming in
MX-880 Editor enables the
installer to freely create
sophisticated status screens
in macros, since there is no
limit to the number of page
jumps inside a macro.
With the ability to nest a
macro inside another
macro, an installer can cre-
ate a complex routine, label
it descriptively and simply
alias to it in one step.
Variables can be used to
track power status, users,
rooms, or to create options
that change in all macros
based on one button press
by the user.
with Color Graphics!
Fast, Structured Programming via
the Program Menu
When starting from scratch, MX-880's open
architecture enables the installer to start a
new project with any template. By following
the steps of the Program Menu, the installer
quickly creates a finished working setup.
Once tested and refined, the installer can
freely experiment with any of the Color
Graphic themes without affecting the setup.
Additionally, companies with their own cus-
tom graphics can add them to the visible themes in the Editor by sim-
ply creating matching and correctly sized artwork in a new folder in
the Graphics directory of MX-880 Editor.
Label Buttons Freely via the Drag
and Drop IR Database Navigator
In addition to the tradi-
tional Save All, which
instantly creates a
device, installers can
customize the LCD but-
ton with new text labels
via the IR Database
Navigator, now
improved with text
replacement on any but-
ton the installer drags
to.
In seconds, a program-
mer can completely
revise the layout of a
device. Simply replace
the text and the IR
command.
Instantly Navigate Existing Files
Like all OpenArchitecture MX
Editors, the installer can open an
existing file and instantly access any
part of the file by clicking in Tree
View.
By expanding the plus signs in tree
view, programmers can accelerate
macro programming by making all
the devices with macro codes on
them accessible with one click of the
mouse.
At a Glance, Identify or
Test any Button's
Programming
In Simulator View any button with programming
is FLAGGED, giving the installer an instant
glimpse into the functionality of each page.

L Learned IR Command
By simply navigating through the pages of a
customer's file the installer can easily identify a
missing command. More importantly, by select-
ing a button the installer can view any command
in the button's action list and test it individually.
Quickly Drag and Drop
Codes & Triggers
As with all OpenArchitecture MX Editors, the installer can import
codes from work done on other remote controls using the Universal
Browser.
When programming MSC-400 triggers, a quick drag from the browser
to either the selected button or the macro window is all that it takes
to harness the sophistication of the MSC-400.
Narrow Band RF in either
418MHz or 433MHz
Narrow Band ensures that broad
band RFI (Radio Frequency
Interference) will be ignored.
However, RFI can also be site spe-
cific and centered on a particular
band. For this reason, the MX-880
Narrow Band RF
Transmission.
can be specified in either the stan-
dard 418MHz version or the MX-880i 433MHz
Narrow Band version.
Ensure reliability with
RFX-250 for MX-880
the Narrow Band RFX-250i for MX-880i
RFX-250 or RFX-250i
(433MHz).
The RFX-250 is included with both the MRF-350
Routing Base Station and the MSC-400 Master
System Controller (specify "i" series for 433 MHz
versions).
MSC-400 Compatibility
The MX-880 is compatible with the ultra-reliable
MSC-400 "Trigger" protocol, which enables com-
plex macros, stored in the MSC-400, to be individu-
ally triggered with a single button push on the MX-
880 regardless of the interference and noise in the
environment.
The combination of very narrow transmission of
digitally encoded packets sent THREE times at
digital speeds in milliseconds assures that every
button press on the remote will be received by the
MSC-400. The MSC-400's sophisticated
error correction circuitry stores all three packets
and compares them. Once two packets are identi-
fied as identical, the MSC-400 goes to work.
This new technology not only increases range, but
increases reliability by a vast margin.
MX-880 is compatible with the MSC-400 Master System Controller
