GETTING SOURCE COMMANDS FROM THE INTERNET

XANTECH.COM

There are some IR commands that can be difficult to learn in Dragon. Xantech edits and posts some of these commands at http://www.xantech.com located under Support-Downloads-IR Code Libraries. (See website for listings and download instructions.) A direct link to Xantech.com can be found in the “Links” section of the Dragon menu bar.

REMOTE CENTRAL.COM (IMPORTING CCF FILES AND DISCRETE IR COMMANDS)

Remote Central.com (http://www.remotecentral.com/) provides an almost unlimited resource of IR commands. There are two styles of commands that can be imported into the DragMRC software: CCF files and Discrete Infrared Hex Codes.

Importing CCF Files:

The code files at Remote Central are not directly compatible with Dragon Drop-IR and therefore need to be converted for use with Xantech software.

NOTE: These files need to be of ProtoEdit Version 1 CCF files.
