Removing a Mapped Function
1.
Click on the button with the three left facing arrows, "
<<<"
, and the IR Function Name will be
deleted and the Channel will be returned to its default.
The four command buttons across the bottom of the window are used to speed up the IR mapping
process:
Un-Map All
- Returns all functions in the Program Function List to their default settings
and clears all IR Function Names.
Auto Map IR Functions
- Pairs matching Channel numbers on the IR Function List and
the Program Function List; as well as copy across the IR Function Names.
Un-Map Current Selection
- Removes the IR Function Name for the selected item in the
Program Function List and resets the channel to the default channel number.
Function Not Used
- Sets the IR Function Name to "Not Used" and zeros the channel
number for the item selected in the Program Function List. Any IR functions that are
either labeled as "Not Used", or that are unmapped (left with the default value of zero)
will not appear anywhere in the functions list or anywhere else, since they are considered
to be unused by the system.
The
OK
button saves the IR Mapping and returns to the System Information Page. The
Cancel
button discards all changes and returns to the System Information Page.
Device Configuration dialog - Control Configuration tab
The options in the Control Configuration tab (FIG. 6) allow you to configure the AMX IR port to
properly transmit the IR signal to the target equipment. The options in this tab require that you
know how your equipment operates.
IR Timing Parameters
- Sets the IR pulse times and the time gap between pulses. The
default time is .5 seconds. Occasionally, this pulse time is too long and results in two
commands being sent. This is most evident on numeric keypads and menu cursor
controls. Use the up/down arrows to adjust the values, or enter new values directly into
the text fields (range = 0 - 255, in 1/10 second increments).
The auto map IR function
DOES NOT
use text names to map. This feature maps the
expected channel number to the IRL channel number.
When adding multiple devices of similar type to a Project, in some cases the devices
could have very different requirements in terms of functionality and associated Touch
Panel pages/buttons. For example, you could set up a high-end model DVD player
with full IR functionality and a second one with only basic DVD transport control. The
Design XPress - Professional TPD pages for both devices will show the same
number of buttons, but many buttons for the second DVD will not work, because
functions weren't mapped to them.
Try to keep the number of functions for multiple same-type devices as close as
possible, for ease-of-use for the end-user.
