RC68+ IR CODE TRIGGERED SEQUENCER
The SmartPad LCD™ Touch Screen Controller can generate IR code (and/or RS232) sequences triggered by
single RC68+ command received at the SPLCD’s IR Receiver (
Figure 2 – 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 Touch Screen receives certain RC68+ commands (Default Code Group C9), via its IR sensor
or an external IR sensor, the system will output a sequence of IR 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 or RS232) 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 SmartPAD LCD Systems window.
2. Open all the IR and RS232 palettes and IR Library commands for the devices to be controlled in the
sequence.
3. Select the RC68+ Sequence Trigger Command to be programmed. (i.e. click on the button 80 or any of
the other 54 buttons shown below under the RC68 TAB so it is highlighted in blue.)
4. In the appropriate palette of CMD list of the IR Library, click on the command to be associated with the
selected RC68 Trigger command. The code name (function/brand/component) of that command will
appear in the Macro Command List window.
