Using The Ir Manager; Ir Manager Context Menu; Creating A New Ir File - AMX ViewPoint Instruction Manual

Using The IR Manager

The IR Manager is a tool in NetLinx Studio that allows you to capture, create, edit and manage IR
Library files for use with IR-controlled devices in your Project/ System. The IR Manager works
with the AMX IRIS Infrared/Serial Data Capture Unit to capture IR files from hand-held remote
controls. For detailed information on the IRIS, refer to the IRIS Infrared/Serial Data Capture Unit
instruction manual.
If you already have the IR Library files that you need for a project, simply use the New/IR File
option in the File menu to add the IR file to the active Project.

Creating a New IR File

1. In the File/New sub-menu, click IR File to open the New IR File dialog box.
2. Enter a path to the target directory for the new file in the File Path field (or use the Browse
button to navigate to the directory). This is where the new IR file will be saved.
If you have a Project open, click the Add To Project radio button to automatically add the new
IR file to the active Project.
3. Click the Use Generated File Name radio button to assign a System-Generated File Name to
the new IR file. When this option is selected, the Manufacturer field is enabled, and the File
Name field is disabled, since the generated file name will automatically contain the
Manufacturer name (refer to the System Generated File Names and IR Files sub-section below
for details). If the Use Generated File Name option is not enabled, the Manufacturer field is
disabled and the File Name field is enabled. Enter a name for the new file and click OK.
If you want to maintain compatibility with the DOS-based IRLib program, you must use
generated file names.
4. A new (empty) IR Manager window opens (the name of the IR file will appear in the title bar):
