To delete an IR command:
1. Select the command from the "LEARN IR" window.
2. Click the "Delete" button.
3. The command will be deleted from memory and the "LEARN IR" Window.
Remember that any deleted IR commands cannot be retrieved. The maximum
amount of IR commands that can be learned is 65,535 but this can also be limited
by the amount of hard drive space available. A learned IR file can also be renamed
by clicking on the "Rename" button.
Setting up Folders/Desktop Icons for Learned IR Commands
This works in the same way as was previously discussed in the built in library sec-
tion. The only difference is that the "Save IR" button is clicked in the "Learned IR"
section.
Learning Tips:
• The remote should be level with the PC-IR
Linc and directly in front on it. The emitter
on the front of the remote should be locat-
ed directly between the two built-in IR
blasters on the front of the PC-IR Linc and
located about 1 to 2 inches from them.
• The remote should have fresh strong bat-
teries. If commands are not being learned
correctly or it takes multiple tries, try changing the batteries.
• Since the green "Probe" indicator is used to indicate status during learning
cycles, the probe be disconnected during learning.
• The IR learning time is fixed at no more than five seconds.
• Sunlight, florescent light sources and plasma screen monitors can interfere with
IR reception. The best learning will occur in darkened rooms.
• The length of time the teaching remote's button is held down can have an effect
on learning success. In some cases, the button may need to be held down
longer than normal for the PC-IR Linc to successfully sample the signal. Other
times, it may only need to be held down less than a second.
Using a Probe With the PC-IR LINC Software
The PC-IR Linc can use external a Smarthome probe to help determine an AV
device’s power status. The green “PROBE” indicator provides a visual confirmation
of the probe status. The PC-IR Linc software also deals with the probe status in two
ways. First, the PC-IR Linc software has a visual confirmation of the Probe’s status.
The bar at the top of the window will indicate the status of either “Probe Off” or
“Probe On”.
Secondly, the window has a section
labeled "Probe Events".
