Using the Imon Remote Manager, Task Switcher

USING THE IMON REMOTE MANAGER

The Remote Manager group of programs allows you to control various Windows system commands using your remote control. You can run the screensaver directly, turn off the monitor, set timers, enter keyboard characters and perform other useful commands using your remote control. The iMON Application Launcher and Task Switcher allow you to use your remote control to instantly launch Windows applications and quickly switch between applications using the [ALT]+[TAB] keys.

Application Launcher

To open the Application Launcher, press the App. Launcher button on the remote control. The “iMON App. Launcher” window (Figure 11) appears.

Application Control

After activating a program with Application Launcher and Task Switcher, you can use your registered remote control buttons to control the program. Please note that the commands performed may be different depending on which program is active. Use Task Switcher to activate a program without the mouse or keyboard.

All-time Control Mode

Use All-time Control mode to control a specific software program regardless of the current active state of the application.

NOTE: You need to assign the All-time Control function to a button on the remote (see “Program Command Setting” on page 18). The executable program file is located here:

C:\Program Files\SOUNDGRAPH\iMON\iMON ATC.exe

To start All-time Control, press the assigned remote control key. The “iMON All-time Control Window”, Figure 12, appears. The functions of the each button are as follows.
