3.10 Main Screen Tabs
•
The HR-4P Programmer consists of four different pages in a tabular format.
Each Tab has a specific function suited to a particular task.
Configuration
•
The
Configuration
tab page as seen in Figure 6 is the default tab shown
at software startup.
o
This tab allows the user to build configuration strings.
o
A configuration string can be created to perform one or more specific
actions based on a particular condition.
o
A configuration string can be up to 250 bytes long, and it can be any
combination of serial, time delays, IR codes, outputs, and pulses
actions. Each type of command; Serial, Time Delay, IR, Output and
Pulse each use a few bytes for identifying the desired action. For
example, a Serial Commands uses XX+2 bytes where XX is the
number of bytes the user defines. So… “Hello” uses 4 bytes + 2
bytes for the serial command.
