Ir Capture - Entering Device Information; Ir Capture - Selecting Functions To Capture - AMX VISUALARCHITECT 1.1 Manual

Working With the Device Database
These are the same as the default settings on most PCs for COM ports. If you know that either the
IRIS or the COM port that you are using has been configured to use different settings, they must be
set to match each other in order for the IRIS to communicate properly with the PC.
4. The "READY" and "VERIFY" LEDs on the front panel of the IRIS should illuminate and the
display should indicate "01", indicating that it is ready for use.

IR Capture - Entering Device Information

The first step in capturing IR codes for an IR-controlled device is to enter the device information, and
select an IR template to use, via the Device window of the IR Code Capture and Management dialog:
1. In the Device window, enter the Manufacturer, Model and Hand Control Model fields manually.
2. Select the Device Type that best describes the device that you want to control from the drop-down
menu of supported device types.
3. The IR Template field is automatically populated with the Device Type selected. In the event that
more than one IR Template exists for the selected Device Type, you can select the appropriate
template from this drop-down menu.
When an IR Template is selected, the Function tab is populated with the functions supported by the
selected IR Template.
The next step is to select the functions that you want to capture, from the list of all supported function for
this template type (in the Functions window).

IR Capture - Selecting Functions To Capture

Once you have entered the device information for the device/hand controller that you want to capture,
you can select the specific functions to capture (from the full set of functions included in the selected IR
Template) in the Functions window of the IR Code Capture and Management dialog.
1. Look at the remote controller that you will capture the IR codes from, and note the functions that are
indicated on the remote, based on the buttons and labels that you see. In most cases, you will want to
capture all of the functions that are represented on the hand controller.
While many hand controllers support most or all of the functions listed in the Main Functions
directory in the Functions tab, many hand controllers do not support the full set of Main Functions.
Keep in mind that the Main Functions listed represent those included in the selected IR Template,
and are intended to account for the Main Functions on a majority of hand controllers, but are not
expected to apply fully to all hand controllers. In most cases, you will select some but not all
functions in the template.
Click the checkboxes to select the functions that you want to capture (FIG. 20).
