Niles Audio 8 manual An Address For Every IR Command, Issue a Sequence From a Function Key

An Address For Every IR Command

Every command you want the IntelliControl to issue must be stored to a memory address (including commands that are only issued as steps in a sequence). Every memory address is composed of two parts, the “Key” you are pressing, and the “Page” you are on when that “Key” is pressed.

The “Key” is the actual key you would press on the IntelliControl’s Tabletop Remote (i.e. “Play”, “Stop”, “Pause”, “Volume Up”, etc). The “Page” describes one of thirteen different layers of memory storage (there are ten user-accessible “Master Key Pages” for source components or features, plus three additional pages called the “Special Pages”. The “Special Pages” include the “Library 1”, “Library 2”, and “Default” pages, which will be discussed later. Explicit instructions for programming “Function Key IR” commands can be found in the IntelliFile II Reference Manual starting on page 9.

Once the ten Master Keys are labeled, all of the keys on the right side of the Tabletop Remote will be referred to as the “Function Keys”. “Function Keys” correspond to the currently selected “Master Key Page”. Not only does the press of a Master Key initiate all of the necessary automation required to enjoy the selected source, it also configures the system to enable you to select any of the “Function Keys” on the right two-thirds of the Tabletop Remote and control the currently selected source. Thus the VCR’s “Play” command is typically stored on the “VCR Master Key Page” in the “Play Key” memory address.

Issue A Sequence From A Function Key

If desired, every “Key” on every user-accessible “Page” may be programmed to trigger either a single “Function Key IR” command, or “Function Key Sequence” of up to twenty- six IR commands. The key that the user will press to issue the sequence is referred to as a “Trigger Key” in the IntelliFile II software. Thus if you wanted the “VCR” page’s “Play” key to issue a sequence, you would consider the VCR page as the “Trigger Page”, and the VCR page’s “Play” button as the “Trigger Key”.

Note: As previously mentioned, each memory address may be programmed to store a single “Function Key IR” command, as well as to trigger a “Function Key Sequence” if programmed to do so. Therefore, a “Function Key Sequence” may be triggered by a tapping a Function Key (i.e. by pressing the “Play” key on the “VCR” page).

However, the “Function Key Sequence” will always take priority. The actual “Function Key IR” command stored to the “Play” key address is not erased, and may be included in this sequence (or any other sequence). This means that if you want the VCR’s “Play” command to be issued as one of the steps in a “Function Key Sequence”, the VCR “Play” command must be included as one of the steps when the sequence is programmed.

When a “Function Key” is pressed, the IntelliControl first checks to see if a “Function Key Sequence” has been programmed to be triggered by the selected Function Key. If a sequence has been programmed, it will be initiated. If a sequence has not been programmed to be initiated by the selected Function Key, the single “Function Key IR” code stored to that “Page” and “Key” address will be issued.
