REPEAT COMMANDS

Commands can be repeated to extend the amount of time the command is being issued. This is sometimes necessary for STOP commands or any commands that seem to be intermittent with a short button press.

1.To repeat an IR command for any reason, just use the arrows to set the number of times to repeat a code.

2.Double Click in the word “REPEAT”. This will place a “cycle” symbol and the words “Repeat 3 Times” (if 3 is selected) at the bottom of the Macro Command List.

3.Left Click on the “Repeat 3 Times” line and drag it directly ahead of the code to be repeated.

PUSH & HOLD (TIERED) COMMANDS

Each programmable button on the virtual keypad can have 2 separate commands associated with it; one that is issued with a short press of the button and another that is issued when the button is pressed and held for longer than 1 second.

NOTE: Tier 2 commands placed under the POWER button will require the button to be held for 3 Seconds before it will execute the Tier 2 command.

The commands thus far have been placed, by default, on TIER 1 (or the first level) of the button. If you wish to add a command(s) to the second Tier,

1.Click on “TIER 2” in the Command List window. The Tier 1 commands disappear from the Macro Command List window and the highlighted button is now outlined in red rather than blue.

2.Repeat all of the same steps as described for programming Tier 1 Commands.

These button edit functions can be accessed by right-clicking on the button. Doing so will display a pop-up menu of the different edit functions (see Figure 26 above).
