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. |

| An action list can contain up to 250 actions. |

| 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. |

| select a device. E.g. when you select TV, you can learn your Pronto NG |
| to switch on the TV at the same time. |

| 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. |
