–RS232 Input Translator
PROGRAMMING IR COMMANDS AND SEQUENCES
The RS232 Input Translator gets programmed in the same manner as programming macros under GTL buttons
or as outlined above in the RC68+ Sequencer programming. Codes from the IR Library (or stored Palette files)
are used to associate commands with any of the 128 available ASCII strings. This gives the ability to program
up to 128 different command strings to control external IR devices.
