selected functions, using an AMX IRIS IR Capture Unit:
Before you begin, make sure that the IRIS is connected to the PC running VA and
powered up.

IR Carrier String: This option indicates whether or not to use IR Carrier signals. The default
setting is False (do not use IR Carriers).
Carrier signals are sometimes used in IR-transmissions to bookend signals, to add
accuracy.
Pulse Interval: This option defines the length of time between IR signals, measured in .10-
second increments.
Pulse Time: This option defines the length of time that the IR signal is emitted, also measured
in .10-second increments.
The dialog displays the first function that will be captured, and indicates how many functions
remain after the current one.
Locate the button on the remote control that matches the indicated function.
