D. Complex Programming
Complex­programming­assigns­multiple­codes­to­a­single­button,­and­defines­how­those­codes­will
be­sent­out.­Each­button­may­be­programmed­with­up­to­16­codes,­which­can­be­sent­inside­macros
(multiple­commands­grouped­to­play­back­sequentially­upon­a­single­button­press),­in­“round­robin”
fashion­(different­individual­codes­sent­on­alternating­button­presses),­or­in­a­combination­of­the­two
(macros­sent­in­an­alternating­fashion).
To­program­multiple­codes­to­a­single­button,­each­code­must­have­either­a­delay­or­a­round­robin
stop­separating­it­from­other­codes.
Complex Programming: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Arm the Button for Learning .­While­the­PixiePro­is­in­Learning­Mode,­press­the­target­button
twice­quickly­to­arm­it­for­complex­programming.­It­should­beep­twice­and­slowly­blink­to­indicate
that­it­is­armed­for­learning.­Hold­the­remote­control­in­the­sweet­spot­you­previously­identified.­
Note :­If­the­button­beeps­only­once,­you­have­accidentally­armed­it­for­Simple­Learning.­Press­any
other­button­to­exit­Simple­Learning­mode.­Now­rearm­the­button­for­Complex­Learning.­
2. Learn the First Code .­Position­the­remote­control­in­the­sweet­spot­and­beam­the­first­code­to
be­learned.­The­PixiePro­should­beep­three­times­to­indicate­success.­
3. Specify a Stop or Delay .­Use­the­ Volume Up button­to­scroll­through­the­ stop and­ delay choic-
es­(see­ Stop and Delay Values chart­on­page­12).­Once­you­reach­the­stop­or­delay­you­wish­to
use,­press­a­Power­button­to­confirm­that­selection.­If­you­are­using­the­Power­button­module­with
both­
On and­ Off power­buttons,­either­can­be­used­to­confirm­your­selection.­ Note : By­default,­a
macro­will­continue­sending­until­it­is­complete,­and­will­not­allow­any­other­command­from­the
PixiePro.­The­hourglass­LED­will­remain­illuminated­for­as­long­as­the­sequence­is­sending.­Keep
this­in­mind­before­configuring­long­delays­between­codes.
Final Stop indicates­this­button­is­done­with­learning­and­you­will­program­no­more­
codes.­Final­Stop­is­the­first­stop­you­will­see­after­beaming­a­code­while­in­Complex­
Learning­Mode.­Press­a­Power­button­to­select.­The­PixiePro­will­beep­four­times­rapidly­
to­indicate­Final­Stop­has­been­accepted,­and­will­then­beep­three­times­more­slowly­to­
indicate­that­the­button­is­completely­programmed­and­has­entered­Verification Mode.­
Note : If­a­button­is­disarmed­at­any­point­during­programming­prior­to­programming­a­
Final Stop ,­all­learned­codes­will­be­lost.
Round Robin Stop specifies­that­the­current­button­press­is­complete,­and­you­are­ready
to­enter­the­first­code­for­the­next­button­press­(i.e.­the­next­round­robin­code).­Hit­the­
Volume Up button­a­single­time­to­reach­ Round Robin Stop ,­then­press­a­Power­button­
to­select.­The­PixiePro­will­beep­four­times­rapidly­to­indicate­that­the­Stop­has­been­
accepted,­and­will­then­beep­twice­more­slowly­to­prompt­you­to­learn­the­next­code.
Delays 0-0 through 3-7 specify­different­delay­times­between­codes­(see­ Stop and Delay
Values table­on­page­12).­These­delays­can­be­as­short­as­100­milliseconds­(Delay­0-0)
or­as­large­as­10­minutes­(Delay­3-7).­After­each­delay­has­been­entered,­the­PixiePro­
will­beep­four­times­rapidly­to­indicate­that­the­delay­has­been­accepted.
4. Finish Programming. Repeat­steps­2­and­3­above­for­the­next­codes­in­the­sequence.­Note:­to
finish­programming­a­button,­the­last­choice­must­be­Final­Stop.­This­indicates­that­you­are­all­done
learning­codes­for­this­button.
5. Verification Mode : Immediately­after­finishing­learning­all­codes,­the­button­will­blink­rapidly­to
indicate­that­it­is­ready­for­verification.­Press­it­to­verify­that­the­codes­were­learned­correctly.­The
PixiePro­will­emit­the­codes­as­they­were­learned.­Because­the­PixiePro­will­emit­the­codes­during
this­step,­you­may­test­that­the­learned­codes­will­correctly­control­the­device­or­devices.
