SELECTING IR AND RS232 COMMAND GROUPS FROM THE PALETTE EDITOR
1.
Click the
Palette Editor Tab
to open the
Palette Editor
. (Click the
Auto-Hide Button
(thumb tack) to hold
the window open if it has been hidden in the margin.)
2.
In the
Palette Editor Menu Bar
, click
Show IR Library
so it is highlighted in
dark blue
.
3.
Click on the appropriate
Brand
(Denon, Escient, etc.). A
sub-directory
of available
components
will open.
4.
Click on the appropriate
Component
(CD, DVD, SAT, etc.). A

of
IR
and
RS232 Command
Groups
will open.
5.
Click the appropriate
Command Group
for the
components/devices
being controlled with the
SPLCD
being programmed.
NOTE:
As multiple
Command Groups
are selected, each will appear as a
Tab
in the margin, so they can
be easily selected while placing commands on the
GTL’s
without having to scroll through the
Brand/
Component List
every time a different group is needed. The
selected
Command Group Tab
will highlight
orange
and the groups can be
scrolled
and
closed
using the
buttons
at the bottom of the
Palette Editor
.
ASSOCIATING COMMANDS TO GTL’S (DRAG AND DROP COMMANDS)
Auto-Fill IR Commands
Auto-Fill is the Express Lane to associating IR Commands to GTL’s. Auto-Fill will automatically populate all
buttons with
Keywords
associated that have been placed on an open Page in the SPLCD System Window with
IR Commands. Keywords are search tools used by Universal Dragon for the
Auto-fill
process. Associating
‘Keywords’ to a button such as Play, Stop, Volume UP, Volume DOWN, Menu UP, Menu DOWN, etc, allows
Universal Dragon to automatically associate specific commands from the
Command Groups
to
Source
and
Function Buttons
placed on a
Source Page
in the
System Window
. (i.e. If
Play
and
Stop buttons
have been
placed on a
Page
, and a
Command Group
is
dragged
onto the
screen
, Universal Dragon will associate the
commands
titled
Play
and
Stop
with those
buttons
.) To Auto-Fill an SPLCD Page:
1.
Open a
Source Page
that has been configured with all required
Source
and
Function GTL’s
.
2.
In the
Palette Editor Window
, select the appropriate
Brand
and
Component
from the
IR Library
.
3.
Click and Drag
the appropriate
IR Command Group
onto a blank space on the
SPLCD Page
in the
System Window
. A
Message Window
indicating the
number
of
IR Commands
that were associated to
that page will appear.
NOTE:
Having the ‘
M’
(show macros)
Icon
selected in the
Tool Bar
will assist in indicating which buttons
do and do not have commands associated.
4.
Click each
button
and check the
associated command
in the
Macro Command List
. Sometimes an
incorrect command will get placed due an ambiguous Keyword.
5.
Manually delete and replace commands as needed.
Manually Associating IR Commands to GTL’s
1.
Select the
Macros Tab
in the
SPLCD System Window.
2.
In the Universal Dragon
Tool Bar
, click the
Show Macros Icon
. It will highlight. A small
‘M’
will appear next
to each button that has any commands (single or sequences) associated. This provides a useful reference
to be sure no buttons go un-programmed.
3.
Click a
Source Button
on the virtual
SPLCD
.
4.
Select the appropriate
Command Group Tab
. Click the appropriate
command
from the
Function List
.
The code name (function/brand/component) for that button will appear in the
Command List Window
.
NOTE:
Typically, because this is a
Source Select Button
an
Input Command
such as Tuner, CD, DVD,
etc. would be appropriate. If additional commands are required, such as a specific audio mode to
correspond to the selected source, or a play command to automatically play the source when selected,
select
Command Groups
and click
Functions
as needed to create
Macro Sequences
. (See Section:
Programming Sequences
below for additional information.)

With the
Source Button
selected in
Step 3
above still selected, on the
virtual SPLCD
, click a
Function
Button
for that
source.
Select the appropriate
Command Group Tab
for that source and click the
appropriate
command
for the selected
Function Button
in the
Function List
.
