PLACING COMMANDS ONTO THE GTL’s (Creating Macro’s)
All of the IR Codes (Palettes or IR Command Groups) should be confirmed and tested before continuing (Same
goes for RS232 Commands -
ADVANCED
only). In the sections to follow, you will be setting up the Keypads
for use in controlling the system. This will consist of setting up the Source Icons, placing IR or RS232
commands onto the Virtual Keypad, and setting up power management to name a few.
SELECTING IR PALETTES FROM THE IR CODE LIBRARY
1. Click on PALETTE in the Dragon Drop-IR (SPLCD) menu bar
2. Select IR Library from the drop-down menu
3. Click on the Component Type (i.e. VCR, DVD etc.) and then the Manufacturer.
4. Find the Command Group file previously tested
SELECTING IR PALETTES
1. From the Palette menu, click “SELECT IR COMMAND PALETTE” or press (F4) on the keyboard.
A list of palettes file names appears to the right with Select Palette in the title bar.
2. Scroll the list (if necessary) and click on the filename of each palette you need for your system (i.e.
pioneercd.pal, rcadss.pal, etc).
3. As you click on each file name, the palettes will appear side-by-side, left to right, with the filename in
each title bar.
NOTE 1:
The various palettes and window boxes can be moved and sized (except the virtual keypads)
for ease of use. If you click on a Palette file in the list and you do not see it on the screen, move some
of the currently opened windows to see if it is hidden behind another window.
NOTE 2:
Each palette can be edited by clicking the Edit Palette bar or closed with the X button in the title
bar.
SELECTING RS232 COMMAND PALETTES
1. From the Palette Menu click “SELECT RS232 COMMAND PALATTE”
2. Follow steps 2 & 3 above under Selecting IR Palettes
ASSOCIATING COMMANDS TO GTL’S (DRAG AND DROP COMMANDS)
1. Select the MACRO’s tab in the SmartPAD LCD™ Systems window
2. Click the desired Source button on the SPLCD GUI Display.
3. Click the Function button you wish to place a command under and select the applicable command
from the palette for that component function. The code name (function/brand/component) for that
button will appear in the Macro Command List on the SPLCD Programming Module.
4. To add additional commands to the same button (i.e. creating a Macro Sequence), just repeat steps 2
& 3. Up to 40 Commands can be placed under each programmable button (See: “Programming
Sequences”)
5. Repeat for all GTL Function buttons and Source Buttons.

All programmable buttons on the MRC88 Keypad can be programmed to send IR sequences of up to 40
commands (all buttons except for Volume UP/DOWN and STATUS).
1. Click the button to be programmed.
2. Open all palettes to be used in the sequence.
3. In the palette, click on the commands in the order of the sequence to be sent.
4. The order of the commands in the sequence can be changed by simply
dragging
the command
towards the desired position in the list. Press and hold the left mouse button with the cursor over the
desired command. While holding, drag the command to the desired position in the list and release.
NOTE:
As you drag a command upward in the list and you want the command between two existing
commands, drop it on the lower one. As you drag downward, drop it on the upper one.
