the proper Com Port is selected of the DragMRC PC for communicating with the MRC88 Controller/Amplifier)

4.Click on the command string to be tested on the left-hand side of the RS232 Palette Editor. Note:

Only commands with the icon will be able to be tested.

5.The Device or Component connected should respond accordingly. If not, check the command string entered and port settings in the Test RS232 Settings window. If still having problems see the Trouble Shooting section to verify RS232 communication.

6.Test all Command Stings in this fashion before placing into a Palette File.

CREATING AN RS232 PALETTE FILE (ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

A Palette File is a file of learned commands that is ready to be placed onto the Virtual Keypads for use in the MRC88 system. These files can be shared with all future versions of Dragon Drop-IR™ Software for use with any Dragon programmable Xantech product capable of issuing RS232 commands. Therefore the procedure of learning and testing these commands and creating the Palette file for an individual source component only needs to be done once. This file can now be added to a library of files that you create or download from our web site and used at any time in the future for later projects.

1.After Dragon has learned the commands for that Source, select “ADD>>”. The ADD button text will turn red.

2.Click on a function (i.e. POWER) to be added to the palette. A “NEW PALETTE” window will open. Type in a file name (i.e. SONY-DSS) and click “SAVE”. (Also note this file name in the IR Filename area of the PLANNING THE SYSTEM section above. Check the box labeled ‘Palette’.)

3.“POWER” will appear in the right-hand side of the Palette Editor window with the icon.

4.Click on all functions to be added to SONY-DSS RS232 Command Palette

5.Click the “CLOSE” button on Palette Editor. Palette Editor will close. SONY-DSS.RSL will be saved to the hard drive.

6.Repeat steps 1-9 in ‘Using the RS232 Palette Editor’ and steps 1-5 in ‘Creating an RS232 Palette File’ for all components to be used with MRC88.
