FIG. 305 Find IR Files dialog
- Fill in the search criteria fields:
Manufacturer Enter the name manufacturer of the IR device associated with the file you are searching for.
Hand Control Enter the model number for the hand-held IR remote associated with the file you are searching for. Model Enter the manufacturer's model number for the IR device associated with the file you are searching for. Where To Search Use the option buttons to select one of three ways to specify where to search for IR files:
- IR Files in Folder - Use this option to specify a target directory to search. Click the Browse (...) button to select the directory to search in the Browse For Folder dialog. The first time you search within any given directory, NetLinx Studio generates an index file of all IR files in that directory. The status of this operation is indicated in the Status dialog. This only happens the first time a directory is searched.
- AMX IRN Database - Use this option to search the AMX IRN Database.
- User's IRN Database - Use this option to search for IR files within an existing User IR Database (*.irn) file. IRN files are generated in the IREdit utility program.
NOTE: Once you have entered one or more items in the search criteria f ields, you can use the down arrows to the right of these f ields to open and select from a list of previously entered items. For example, once you have typed "Sony" in the Manufacturer f ield, the next time you need to search for Sony devices, just select "Sony" from the drop-down list.
- Click OK to begin the search, based on the specified criteria.
The results of the Find IRL/IRV search operation are listed in the Find IRL Files tab of the Output Bar. The information in this tab includes the search criteria entered in the Find IR Files dialog.
