Action

An action is a command that will be executed by ProntoPro NG. An

 

action can be an IR code, a link, a delay or a beep. You can assign one

 

or more actions to a button or a hard button. It is the same as a macro.

Action list

An action list is a list of actions assigned to a button or a hard button.

 

An action list can contain up to 250 actions.

Animation mode

ProntoPro NG provides navigation feedback through graphical

 

animations. These animations can be found in the Animation mode. You

 

can enable and disable the animations of your ProntoPro NG in the

 

Settings Pages.

Branding

ProntoPro NG contains a list of brands and their according IR codes in its

 

database. ProntoPro NG uses IR codes to control devices. Because there

 

are several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brand

 

and code set for each device.

Button alias

See Link.

Button backlight

The Button backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the

 

hard buttons on your ProntoPro NG, enhancing the visibility of these

 

buttons.

Calibration

Calibrating the touch screen enables ProntoPro NG to exactly match the

 

icons on the touch screen with their predefined functions.

Code set

A code set is a list of IR codes. Audio and video devices of different

 

brands use different code sets. A device can only receive and execute

 

functions from the correct code set.

Cursor navigation

There are two ways of navigating through ProntoPro NG: using the touch

 

screen or using the cursor for navigation. When you select cursor

 

navigation, the cursor can only be used for navigating through devices

 

and pages on ProntoPro NG touch screen, not for controlling audio/video

 

equipment.

Delay

A delay is a pause between two actions. A delay gives the device

 

enough time to execute the first action before it receives an impulse to

 

execute a second action.

Device

Every device in the configuration file appears on the Device Overview

 

Page of ProntoPro NG and in the tree view in ProntoProEdit NG. A device

 

represents the equipment you want to control with ProntoPro NG, for

 

instance a TV, VCR, CD player, Amplifier, Satellite receiver or any device

 

operated by an IR remote. The device contains a number of pages with

 

buttons.

Device action

A device action is an action that is executed automatically when you

 

select a device. E.g. when you select TV, you can learn your ProntoPro

 

NG to switch on the TV at the same time.

Device Overview

You use the Device Overview on ProntoPro NG to access the different

 

devices. The Device Overview contains buttons for each device in the

 

configuration. By pressing these buttons you navigate to the first page

 

of the selected device.
