IRLIB Infrared Library Management Program 

Application and Use

11. 

Press return and continue building your Hand Control function file as indicated 
in steps 7 through 10. 

After capturing all of the functions with the IRIS unit and storing them with IRLIBX, 
press ESC (escape) to end the process for the current Hand Control.  

• 

To start another Hand Control function file: 

− 

Save the current file by pressing the ESC button. This causes IRLIBX to 
save the file with an .IRL extension. 

− 

Select CAPTURE NEW again.  

• 

If you want to add more functions to the current Hand Control list, use the 
CAPTURE EXISTING menu option. 

Building a Function Description List 

Once you have captured the IR functions from your Hand Controls, and built your 
Hand Control function library, you can now make selected lists of the IR functions. 
Connect an AXCESS card cage or other Panja IR device to your PC’s RS–232 commu-
nication port, and run the IRLIBX program. Use F3 to select the DCU/IRS menu and 
choose the MODIFY option to open the modify option window (Figure 20).  

These steps for developing and using an IR function description list are as follows:

Function was Loaded window 

Note

 

Attempting to enter a dupli-

cate function will cause an 

error window to be displayed. 

You can then select whether 

or not you really want a dupli-

cate function. 

Note  

If you are creating a custom 

file, follow the procedures in 

the 

Saving a Custom File 

subsection. Only use the 

Save File option to save cus-

tom files. Capturing 

is not 

used to save custom files.
