Pause; Toadtog - One for All EXTENDER A1 FOR URC-7780 Instructions Manual

10.5 Pause

As described in section 4.2, the Pause function enables you to create a delay between two specific
keystrokes in a macro without slowing down the processing of macros in general. You will normally
bind a Pause to a phantom key, so that you can insert that key wherever you need a pause in your macros
without having it taking up unnecessarily some physical button.
For this function you have to enter the required delay in the box marked Hex, as a two-byte hexadecimal
value. This value has exactly the same form and meaning as was described in section 4.2 for setting a
general macro delay, and with the same proviso about the meaning of zero as the low byte value. To use
the example given there, a delay of 1 second is 1000 milliseconds, or in hexadecimal, $03E8
milliseconds. You enter this as the two-byte value $03 $E8. There are no other parameters.

10.6 ToadTog

TOAD stands for Toggle-Only Actuated Devices. This function takes its name from its ability to create
separate On and Off buttons for a device whose native On/Off action is only through a toggle button.
This comes into its own when you want to create a macro to turn on several devices at once. If any of
them were already on, a straightforward macro would turn on those that were off, but would also turn off
those that were on. ToadTog circumvents this by 'remembering' whether the devices were on or off, and
only turning on those that were off. It relies, of course, on the devices concerned never being turned on or
off in any other way than through this remote control, as it has no way of keeping track of any other
activations.
ToadTog has eight independent toggle memories, numbered 0 to 7. You choose the toggle number to use
in the box marked Toggle #. They are all initially Off, but they retain their new value even when the
remote enters its dormant sleep state.
The action of the bound key can be chosen, in the Condition box, to Toggle (Off -> On, On -> Off), Test
Only (Off -> Off, On -> On), Force Off (Off -> Off, On -> Off) or Force On (Off -> On, On -> On).
Whichever option you choose, you can assign two macros, one for each of the two actions. The headings
of the two macro definition boxes change to reflect the choice of condition. Note that you must assign
one of the two macros, as if both are empty then the toggle action will not take place. If you want a key
that does nothing other than one of the toggle actions, assign the Null key as one of the macros.
The simplest example is the original one, to create separate On and Off buttons from a toggle-only power
switch. Assume that the device is to be off when we first start using the new buttons, and that we will use
toggle 2 to remember its state. Then we set
'On' button:
'Off' button:
A composite example that uses several different Special Protocols is given in section 10.8.
You can use ToadTog to emulate an X-Shift for a particular key if you have turned off direct X-Shift
action from the keypad by changing Alt Shift from XShift to Shift, as described in section 7.5. Suppose
you want to use toggle 7 for this. Bind a macro to the Magic key to force toggle 7 off, and one to
Shift/Magic to force toggle 7 on. One press of Magic will then set a Shift state with toggle 7 off, the
second (and subsequent) presses of the Magic button will be of the Shift/Magic key, which again sets a
Toggle # = 2
Condition = Force On
Off->On macro = Power
Already On macro = <empty>
Toggle # = 2
Condition = Force Off
On->Off macro = Power
Already Off macro = <empty>.
