Appendix C: Using an IRIS IR Capture Unit
Overview
The IRIS Infrared Capture Unit (FIG. 126) is a stand-alone, self-contained unit used to capture infrared
(IR) or wired-IR function signals from a hand-held remote controller (RC).
After you capture IR functions with the IRIS unit, the functions are sent to a PC running VA.
VA creates RC function files that are then downloaded to the Central Controller.
