The file will be saved in the directory where the program
is located and will have a ".ir" extension. A different
directory can be selected by choosing one from the "Save
in:" box at the top of the window. From there, it can be
moved to another folder or place it on the desktop.
PC-IR Linc will instantly send the IR command when the
icon is clicked. The only restriction is that the IR Linc
software must be closed before an IR command can be
sent from the icon. Double clicking an icon while the PC-
IR Linc software is running will not send an IR command.
Learning an IR Command with
the PC-IR LINC Software
In some cases, the IR signals necessary to control the AV
device may not be in the PC-IR Linc's internal memory.
On the right side of the program, the "Learn IR" func-
tions have the tools necessary to learn IR commands
into the IR Linc.
To learn an IR command:
1. Click on the button labeled "Learn".
2. A window appears and asks what the learned IR file will be called. The pro-
gram automatically comes up with a name "IR Key" followed by a number.
Click "OK" to accept the default name or enter a different name to describe the
command.
3. The red "Active" indicator will begin to blink rapidly. This indicates that PC-IR
Linc is ready to learn an IR command.
4. Point the remote control at the two built-in IR blasters on the front of PC-IR Linc.
5. Press and hold the button on the remote control until the red "Active" indica-
tor turns off. If no IR command is received within about 5 to 6 seconds, the
red indicator will turn off and the PC-IR Linc will exit the learning mode.
6. The status bar will turn blue if the command was successfully learned or turn-
ing red if the command was not correctly learned.
If the learning process failed, the learning process must be repeated. If the learn
was successful, the IR command name assigned will appear in the text window. To
learn other IR commands repeat the above procedure.
To send a learned IR command:
1. Select the command from the "LEARN IR" window.
2. Click the "Send" button or double-click on the highlight name. Right clicking on
the selected command will display an alternative list of options.
3. The PC-IR Linc will transmit the IR command and the red "Active" indictor will
blink.
