9.2. TRANSMITTING SEARCH
In transmitting search a selected button from the database of codes is sent to
the device by the IR programmer. Programmer is pointed to the device and the
software parameters are set to send the key codes. It is recommended to reduce
codes number by entering the Brand, Type or Model.
So for example if you know the brand of the device is VESTEL, it will be set in
the brands filter. You can also set the type of equipment (TV, SAT, HIFI, LCD, PC,
VCR, DTT, etc.).. This further reduces the number of codes. Then choose a button
from virtual remote to send the code. Most often sending starts with the "POWER"
button, but according to the device type, the button may be different. Before
transmission, the device must be switched on and prepared for usage. IR
programmer must be directed to the device we're looking a remote for. When
searching, be careful about the reaction of the device. For example, when code for
button Power (ON / OFF) is transmitted, you should see whether the device switches
on or off.
Let's make a test automatic search.
Before you start the “Transmitting search” let’s limit the count of the codes. See
image below for this example.
If you only know that the brand of the LCD is Sony (no model), then input in the filter
the brand "SONY". In "Current Code Group List:" there are 116 codes left that are for
"SONY". These 116 codes apply to all types of equipment.
Picture 52
We can mark the code for LCD and TV only, and so the number will decrease further
(in this case to 33 codes)
