TESTING IR COMMANDS IN THE IR LIBRARY
Once you have located all of the
Command Groups
for a specific manufacturer/component, you will need to
test the commands to see which Command Group is associated with your specific component.
NOTE:
To test commands out of the Library, the
PC
running
Universal Dragon
must be connected to the
SPLCD
via the
RS232
or
USB Programming Port
and the
IR output
of the
SPLCD
must be connected to a
Connecting Block
as shown in
Figure 8, Page 17
. Connect an
IR Emitter
to the connecting block and attach
it to the component being tested over the
IR Eye
.
1.
With the
IR Library
opened to the specific manufacturer/component list of
Command Groups
as outlined
above, click on the
first Command Group listed
[i.e.
1 (32)
]. A list of all of commands associated with this
component will be displayed.
2.
With the
PC
connected to the
SPLCD Programming Port
, select the
Test Button
located at the top of the
Palette Editor Window
. The
Test Button
should now be highlighted in
dark blue
.
3.
Click the
Power ON/OFF
command and other basic function commands as listed in the
Command Group
.
The controlled component should respond to each command sent. (i.e.
Power
should turn the source ON
or OFF,
Play
plays the content etc.)
NOTE:
Whenever possible, look for Command Groups with discreet ON/OFF Codes. These will help keep
components in sync with the system by providing absolute power commands.
4.
If a component does not respond to a command, click on another
Command Group
listed for that
manufacturer/component
and
retest
.
