You may also use the NEW PROJECT or OPEN PROJECT icons located on the Tool Bar at the top of the page. In the New Project window, type a file name such as “Theater Room” and click “SAVE”. The proper file extension is added automatically. A new window will appear.
CREATING THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) Through Universal Dragon™ software, you can easily create stylish and intuitive screens in multiple pages for controlling any IR Device. Once a project is created and a setup environment chosen, you are automatically placed in Graphics mode and are now ready to create your GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen.
Choosing A Style Multiple STYLES of Backgrounds, Source Buttons, and Function Buttons are included in a graphics library within the software. Each STYLE contains its own set of Backgrounds and GTL’s (Graphical Touch Links). Once a STYLE is selected, only its associated Backgrounds, Source buttons and Function Buttons (GTL’s) will be available. Backgrounds To choose a style: 1) Make sure you are in Graphics Mode. If not, click on the Graphics TAB in the XTR39 window.
2) 3) 4) Selected state. The UP and DOWN graphics can be edited. Please see Editing GTL Properties for more information on this. Click on the Buttons TAB in the GRAPHICS window. All of the Function Buttons associated with that Style will be displayed. Select a Button and drag-and-drop it anywhere on the Background in the XTR39 Systems window. If a desired Function Button is not shown in the list, simply select a BLANK button and drag it onto the Background.
Inserting Additional Pages for a Single Source Additional blank pages can be inserted for a given source. After a blank page is inserted, it may be populated with Function Buttons just as in the previous section. This may be useful either when a page becomes full of commands or for easier operation (i.e. separating the Motion Control buttons and Menu Navigation Buttons of a DVD Player on separate pages). The Blank Page is always inserted AFTER the current page you are inserting from.
Editing GTL Properties Properties of a GTL button can be edited for Text, Font and color. This allows the user to drag a blank GTL button on to the GUI page and edited it to their liking. Each GTL has two states a Down and an Up state. Each of these states can be edited separately to give a unique appearance when either selected or non-selected. To edit a GTL proceed as follows: 1) Right-click on the GTL to be edited. Note: Existing TEXT on a GTL cannot be changed or edited.
Inserting Labels A Label may be inserted anywhere on the GUI screen to give more detailed description to a GTL or a group of GTL’s. The label may even be used as a Function GTL or even as a Source GTL if so desired. To insert a Label proceed as follows: 1) Right-Click on any blank area (no GTL’s) in the XTR39 Systems window. 2) From the Drop-Down menu, select whether this will be a text Label, text-only Source Button, or a text-only Function Button.
Testing IR Commands in the IR Library Once you have located all of the Command Group codes for the appropriate Manufacturer/Component, you will need to test the commands to see which Command Group is associated with your specific component. NOTE: To test commands out of the Library, the PC running Universal Dragon™ software must be connected to the XTR39 via the USB programming port. With the Manufacturer and Component expanded and the proper library selected.
entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s. If no working commands can be found in the IR Library, please proceed to the following section entitled Learning IR Commands. Learning IR Commands (XIR2) An IR Learning Eye is located on the front of the XTR39. Note: Commands learned through the XTR39 front learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT backwards compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…).
7) Select the command the left side of the Palette Editor (i.e. Power, Play, Stop etc.). A message stating “Waiting to receive IR” will appear 8) While continuing to keep the source remote within 1” from the IR learning eye, press and release the corresponding command button on the source remote. A symbol ( ) will appear to the left of the selected function indicating that an IR code has been learned. Note: If you wait longer than ten seconds, a time-out message will appear.
Editing Function Names in the Palette Editor If a function displayed on the Source Components Remote is not displayed in the function list on the left hand side of the Palette Editor window, you can either RENAME an existing function or ADD a new function to the list. Editing function names in the Palette Editor will only effect the Palette File you are currently saving to (i.e. Making a change to a function under DENON DVD will only appear in DENON DVD).
Creating a Palette File A Palette File is a file of learned commands that is ready to be placed under a GTL for use in the XTR39. Note: As previously mentioned, Palette files created in Universal Dragon™ software (XIR2 method) cannot be used with other devices. 1. 2. Select to create a new palette file. Then choose to either add a new brand or component (to all brands).
Selecting IR Palettes Scroll the list (if necessary) and click on the component of each palette you need for your system (i.e. Pioneer CD, RCA DSS, etc). As you click on each file name, the palettes will appear side-by-side, left to right, with the filename in each title bar. NOTE 1: The various palettes and window boxes can be moved and sized (except the virtual keypads) for ease of use.
Testing Commands Placed on the virtual XTR39 Window Commands placed under buttons in the virtual XTR39 window may be tested prior to downloading. To test commands, the PC must be connected to the XTR39 and the XTR39 must be pointed at the source to be controlled. In Universal Dragon, under the menu items, change from Normal Mode to Test Mode. Select the appropriate GTL button in the XTR39 window with the IR codes placed under it to test. (i.e. PLAY button). The button should now appear selected.
