more switch activity it gives you control over both the scanning and the selection
from one switch.
Two Switch Scanning
Two switch scanning or step scanning uses two external switches. Switch 2 is
used to manually advance the scan and select the desired button. Switch 1 is
used to activate the command on that button.
Direct Access
Direct access is not strictly a scanning mode and is provided for simple setups,
demonstrations and assessments. In this mode Switch 1 activates the Infra-red
command on Button 1 and plays back it‟s the auditory prompt. Likewise, Switch 2
activates the Infra-
red command on Button 2 and plays back it‟s auditory prompt.
STEP 3: Make a Selection
When you have scanned to the button you want press Switch 1 to transmit the
InfraRed code stored on that button (in Short Click scanning mode you must
press and hold Switch 1).
If there is an InfraRed code stored on the button you have chosen it will be
transmitted. As the code is being transmitted notice how both the button light and
the
light illuminate.
If a long sequence of InfraRed codes was recorded on the button, for example a
series of program up commands, pressing your switch a second time will stop the
transmission, and, if an “OK” code was recorded it will be transmitted now.
Long
sequences and “OK” codes are very useful features that allow you, for example,
to select a channel on your Sky box with only two presses of your switch (see
page 12 for further details on how to record long sequences and
“OK” codes).
When the InfraRed code has stopped being transmitted the
light will go out.
Pressing your switch again will restart the scanning so that you can select
another function.
3.2 Scanning Styles
When you are scanning, the lights of the HouseMate buttons will light up in a
particular sequence. The order in which they light up depends upon what
scanning style has been selected.
