IR Learning and Command Uploading

Overview

If you find yourself with a Device that does not currently exist within our Database, there are a couple options to pursue to get the commands into the Builder.

1. Submit a Device Request
2. Create your Own Device

Or, you can Learn IR commands from the Physical remote and upload these commands into a New or Existing Device. The process below explains this third option in detail.

Process

Access the Kramer hardware webpage – (This example accesses the SL-280 webpage) and select the option for IR Command Learner

Add a Name for your Command, timeout value and choose the option to Start Learning

Using the physical remote point the remote at the FRONT of the Kramer Hardware. The Command Learner page shows the received command

_The options below the window allow you to test the learned command. By assigning the proper port where the IR emitter is plugged in, you can simulate the command to ensure the learning process worked properly. _

After the Command has been tested, use your mouse (or select option to copy) and highlight the received data.

If your Builder is not open, make sure to Launch the Builder now

The next step varies on your situation, you are either going to Edit a Device or Create a New Device (This example Edits an Existing Driver)

Select your Device from the Device section, and open the Menu then select the option to Edit Device

Selecting the Edit Driver option opens a new browser window showing the Device Driver Editor

• Between the Attributes and Parameters fields you will need to enter “data”: in this format then after the : you will paste the learned data and finish the command with a comma (“,)
  

Save the changes by Selecting the Save icon atop the right side of the window
