RC68 IR CODE TRIGGERED SEQUENCER
The SmartPad LCD™ Touch Screen Controller can generate IR and/or RS232 command sequences that are
triggered by single RC68 commands received at the SPLCD’s IR Receiver (
Figures 2a, 2b – Item 2
). This
feature can be useful in eliminating long sequence execution from hand-held controllers and also allow a wider
range of programmable remotes that can be used with the SPLCD (i.e. Remotes that do not allow sequence
programming).
When the SPLCD receives a specific RC68 command (Default Code Group
C9
), via the built-in IR Receiver or
an external IR Receiver, the system will output a sequence of commands. The sequence can be any
combination of IR Commands, Internal SPLCD Controller Commands, and RS232 commands. This means a
basic programmable remote can trigger any command (IR, RS232 or Xantech ‘Internal Commands’) to
communicate with all devices connected to the SPLCD. A total of 55 Macro’s can be triggered in this fashion.

PROGRAMMING RC68 TRIGGERED SEQUENCES
Programming the RC68 Triggered Sequencers is similar to programming macros under GTL buttons.
1.
Click on the
RC68 Tab
in the
SPLCD System Window
.
2.
Open all the
IR
and
RS232
Command Groups
for the
devices
to be controlled in the
RC68 Triggered
sequence
.
3.
Select the
RC68 Sequence Trigger Command
to be programmed. (i.e. click on the
80 Button
or any of
the other
54 buttons
shown under the
RC68 Tab
so it is highlighted in
yellow
.)
4.
Click the appropriate
Command Group Tab
for the first
IR
or
RS232 Command
to be associated with the
selected
RC68 Trigger Command
. The
command name
(function/brand/component) will appear in the
Macro Command List Window
.
5.
Repeat
Steps 2-4
for all
IR/RS232 Commands
to be associated to this
RC68 Trigger Command
. A
maximum of
40 commands
may be placed under each
RC68 Trigger
, including
Delay Commands
).
6.
Repeat
Steps 2-5
for any other
RC68 Triggers
. (55 Triggers total.)
NOTE:
Creating a written record of each RC68 Trigger command button and a brief description of its macro
function is recommended for reference. (i.e. Button 80 = Turn on HK Receiver and Escient Server, Select
