User Guide
An action is a command that will be executed by Pronto. An action can
be an IR code, a link, a delay or a beep. You can assign one or more
actions to a button or a hard button. It is the same as a macro.
An action list is a list of actions assigned to a button or a hard button.
An action list can contain up to 255 actions.
Pronto provides navigation feedback through graphical animations.
These animations can be found in the Animation mode. You can enable
and disable the animations of your Pronto in the Setup Pages.
Pronto contains a list of brands and their according IR codes in its
database. Pronto uses IR codes to control devices. Because there are
several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brand and
code set for each device.
See Link.
Calibrating the touch screen enables Pronto to exactly match the icons
on the touch screen with their predefined functions.
A code set is a list of IR codes. Audio and video devices of different
brands use different code sets. A device can only receive and execute
functions from the correct code set.
There are two ways of navigating through Pronto: using the touch screen
or using the cursor for navigation. When you select cursor navigation,
the cursor can only be used for navigating through devices and pages on
Pronto touch screen, not for controlling audio/video equipment.
A delay is a pause between two actions. A delay gives the device
enough time to execute the first action before it receives an impulse to
execute a second action.
Every device in the configuration file appears on the Device Overview
Page of Pronto and in the tree view in ProntoEdit. A device represents
the equipment you want to control with Pronto. The device contains a
number of pages with buttons.
A device action is an action that is executed automatically when you
select a device. E.g. when you select TV, you can learn your Pronto to
switch on the TV at the same time.
You use the Device Overview on Pronto to access the different devices.
The Device Overview contains buttons for each device in the
configuration. By pressing these buttons you navigate to the first page
of the selected device.
The device settings are the type of device, the brand, the IR code set
and the functions. In order to control a device with your Pronto, you first
have to set the device settings.
A hard button is a button that can be pressed and generates an event.
Hard buttons can be found on Pronto. Their layout and visual aspects
cannot be changed. You can configure the functions of the hard buttons,
just like the buttons on the touch screen.
