Button backlight
The Button backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the
hard buttons on your ProntoPro NG, enhancing the visibility of these
buttons.
Calibration
Calibrating the touch screen enables ProntoPro NG to exactly match the
icons on the touch screen with their predefined functions.
Code set
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.
Cursor navigation
There are two ways of navigating through ProntoPro NG: 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 ProntoPro NG touch screen, not for controlling audio/video
equipment.
Delay
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.
Device
Every device in the configuration file appears on the Device Overview
Page of ProntoPro NG and in the tree view in ProntoProEdit NG. A device
represents the equipment you want to control with ProntoPro NG, for
instance a TV, VCR, CD player, Amplifier, Satellite receiver or any device
operated by an IR remote. The device contains a number of pages with
buttons.
Device action
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 ProntoPro
NG to switch on the TV at the same time.
Device Overview
You use the Device Overview on ProntoPro NG 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.
