2.4 IR Library Test (Fig. 16)
An important feature of the Essentia Configurator is the ability to test each IR code as it is added to the IR Library. This insures that every code will work reliably.
When a new code is added, while it is still highlighted, click on the test button, or double click on the highlighted code. This will open the IR Library Test window. Make sure that the IR Learning Interface box's IR emitter is either facing the IR receiver window of the source equipment or an IR emitter is plugged into one of the two IR emitter outputs and affixed to the IR receiver window of the source equipment. Clicking on the test button will cause the IR Learning interface to emit the code. The source equipment should respond appropriately to the command if it has been stored correctly. A test result box will open where you can record yes or no to the test. Three successful test results are required before the “Passed” count turns green. Clicking the “OK” button will save the results in the IR Library. The “Tested” column for that command will show the number of successful tests performed.
Although not required, testing each code is highly recommended.

If a required IR function is not in the list of those provided in the library template, it is possible to add a code to the list by clicking the “Create New” button. The

2.6 Cleaning Up an IR Library
Unused IR codes can be deleted from the list by highlighting the code and either clicking the ”Delete” button or right- clicking and selecting “Delete.”
When you are finished editing the library, select “Done.”
3. Defining Sources
The “Sources” tab allows you to define the source component attached to each of the six source inputs. All six sources are not needed, but at least one source must be defined.
