IR Learning (SFI244 only)
The IPL T SFI244 IR can “learn” commands from a third-party
remote control device in order to control devices such as VCRs,
audio tape players, or DVD players. IR learning can be
performed in conjunction with the Global Viewer to assist in
controlling commonly used functions.
During IR learning, the user must hold the device remote
between 2” and 12” away from the IR pick up device. See figure
4-18 for an example.

Creating a driver with the IR Learner software
In order to use your third-party remote device with the
IPL T SFI244, the functions of your third–party driver must be
“learned” by the IPL T unit. In other words, you must create a
driver for your remote control device. You have the option of
creating a new, custom driver or manipulating an existing
driver. Both can be accessed or created through the IR Learner
software.
To create a driver for your remote control device, do the
following:
1. Launch the IR Learner software application. The
application window will appear; there will be no open
drivers.
2. Create a new or empty driver by selecting File->New. A
driver document is created, and its Header tab is selected.
Figure 4-19 — Creating a new driver
3. Edit the Header fields (figure 4-19), the most important of
which is Type. The driver will be populated with a default
set of commands according to the selected device type. A
device type of “Other” creates an empty driver with no
functions.
4. Add functions by pressing the Add button in the toolbar.
User definable functions may be added to the driver. The
names and ordering of user definable functions may be
changed at any time by double clicking on the function
to be renamed. The names and ordering of any default
functions can not be altered.
