4. Use the radio buttons to select the Control Method associated with the new device (IR, Serial
or IP).
The control method(s) available for selection depend on the device type specified.

Adding IR-Controlled Devices to the Project

To add a device to your system, click the Add button in the System Information dialog. This opens
the Device Configuration dialog - Device Data tab.
In the Source Configuration dialog (Source Data tab):
1. Select the type of equipment you are adding from the Source Type drop-down list.
2. Enter a name for the device in the Display Name field. This is the name for the device that will
appear on the touch panel.
3. If the device is a CD or DVD player, specify the size of the disc changer (if applicable; by
default this field is set to 1).
4. Use the radio buttons to select IR as the Control Method associated with the new device.
5. Associate an IR code file (*IRL) to the new device:
6. Once an IR file has been selected, note that the Manufacturer, Hand Control Model #, Device
Model # and Info fields are automatically updated to show any property-level file information
that was associated with the selected IR file when it was created.
7. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the IR pulse time (in .10-second increments) in the IR
Pulse field. The default setting is .5 seconds.
8. Open the IR Mapping tab of the Device Configuration dialog to assign IR function/channels to
Touch Panel functions:
a. Click the Auto Assign button to automatically assign IR Functions to Touch Panel
functions. In most cases, this should be sufficient. However, you can use the IR Mapping
tab to manually assign IR Functions to Touch Panel functions:
b. Select the Touch Panel function that you want to associate an IR Function to (in the right-
hand table).
c. Select the IR Function that you want to assign to the selected Touch Panel function (in the
left-hand table), and click the right arrows button to copy the selected IR Function to the
selected Touch Panel function.
