4.7Testing the Remote Control application

You are now ready to use the development kit to test remote control. The RemoTI software package includes a remote control target emulator. This is an application that is running on a PC and emulates TV or A/V equipment. It controls the RemoTI receiver using a serial port interface. For real applications the target emulator SW will be running on the host processor of the equipment.

The target emulator can be found in the <Installation Path>\RemoTI\bin folder. For instructions on how to set up and use the target emulator please see the RemoTI Target Emulator Users Guide (SWRU202) in the <Installation Path>\Documents\User Guide folder.
