Getting Started with the PC-IR Linc Software
Before getting started take a few moments to get familiar with the PC-IR Linc operat-
ing window.
This window will open when the pro-
gram is first started. Across the top
are three pull-down menus; "File",
"Tools", and "Help". The left half of
the window is labeled "Library IR"
and the right half is "Learn IR". Just
below the "Library IR” section are
the "IR Linc Status" line and the
"Probe Event" boxes.
Clicking on the pull down menu
labeled "File" will open it as shown
on the left. In the pull down menu is
the "Exit" command. Clicking this
command will close the program.
The "Tools" pull-down menu will
show four commands;
"Com port"
"Clear all learned IR"
"Probe On Event"
"Probe Off Event"
Clicking on the Com Port command allows the com port to be changed. The default
setting is com port 1. To change the port, enter the number of the com port to be
used (2, 3, 4, etc.) and click on the "OK" button. The window will close and the com
port will be updated in the software.
