Learn command with timing.
Some remote controls use different
timings for different commands. If some commands can not be
learned with the recorded timing, this function allows learning them.
The timing for every command is stored individually.
!
Toggle Command
. Some remotes use Toggle bit and command
variation. They send different codes every time you press a button.
This allows easier detection of keys that are held down. If you use this
option you have to learn the same command more then once
(normally 2-5 times is enough). Every code is stored individually. You
do not need this option for the popular Philips RC5 / RC6 codes. They
are recognized by the IRTrans firmware and the firmware takes care
of the Toggle Bits. RC5 / RC6 are the only popular systems using
Toggle bits.
!
RAW Mode.
Certain remotes use codes, which are very special and
can not be decoded by IRTrans on the fly. These codes are rare but
some exist. For instance some light control systems use very special
codes as the receivers are very simple. Using RAW mode IRTrans
can learn almost every Code and send it again. If you want to use
RAW Codes to control the PC, the IRTrans has to be set into RAW
mode in the status menu. You do not need to do that to learn and
send RAW codes. If this mode is activated, only RAW codes can be
used to control the PC. However you can still learn and send decoded
commands. If the RAW mode is activated, RAW codes are also used
on the serial bus. Because there is more data transferred and the
recognition of commands is not as safe as in decoded mode the RAW
mode of the IRTrans should only be enabled if you need to control the
PC using a special remote. You can learn and send RAW codes even
without activating the RAW mode.
!
RAW Repeat.
RAW Codes can also be learned as repeat codes.
Here you also have to press the key a bit longer.
All learning modes can be used via the serial bus, too. It does not matter,
which IRTrans unit is used.
