PC-Link Software

The Windows® 95/98 PC-LINK software provided with the RR-1090 remote can be used to work with complete configuration files for the RR-1090 remote. These configuration files contain a complete set of options, command sets, macros, and custom labels to fully customize a RR-1090 remote. The configu- ration files can be saved to or opened from the hard disk. They can also be uploaded from or downloaded to the RR-1090 using the supplied serial cable. This provides a convenient way to transfer the desired programming to a number of RR-1090 remotes.

In addition, many of the configuration options for the RR-1090 can be modified in the PC-LINK soft- ware, a procedure that may be more convenient than using the RR-1090’s own setup menus.

Installing PC-LINK Software

To install and run the PC-LINK software on a Win- dows® 95/98 computer:

2.Run the program SETUP.EXE, either by double- clicking the filename in Windows® Explorer or by clicking RUN from the START button menu and typing A:SETUP.EXE.
