Action

An action is a command that will be executed by Pronto 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

Pronto 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 Pronto NG in the Settings Pages.

Branding

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

 

database. Pronto 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 Pronto NG, enhancing the visibility of these

 

buttons.

Calibration

Calibrating the touch screen enables Pronto 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 Pronto 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 Pronto 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 Pronto NG and in the tree view in ProntoEdit NG. A device

 

represents the equipment you want to control with Pronto 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 Pronto NG

 

to switch on the TV at the same time.

Device Overview

You use the Device Overview on Pronto 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.

Device settings

The device settings are the type of device, the brand, the IR code set
