Press the send pushbutton to send the captured RC function to the PC running Visual
Architect.
Repeat steps 3 through 6 to capture all the RC functions on your list.
IRIS - Capturing RC Functions In SP (Special Function) Mode
If you cannot capture an RC function in default mode, set the IRIS unit to special function (SP) mode.
To capture RC functions in SP mode:
1. Press and release the up and send pushbuttons at the same time. The message "SP" briefly appears
in the display and the up led lights. The IRIS unit is now in SP mode.
2. Perform steps 3 -6 described in the Capturing RC Functions in Default Mode topic - four times, or
until the Send LED lights, to capture the RC function. Then, go to the next step.
3. Simultaneously press and release the up and send pushbuttons to reset the IRIS unit to default mode.
The message "nO" (normal operation) briefly appears in the display to indicate default mode is
active.
IRIS - Capturing Difficult RC Functions Using P3-p8 Modes
Set the IRIS unit to the P3-P8 modes if you cannot capture an RC function in default or SP mode.
The P3 and P4 modes are special settings to capture RC functions.
To capture RC functions using P3-P8 modes:
1. Simultaneously press and release the up, down, and send pushbuttons. The message "P1" appears in
the display. The IRIS unit is now in P mode.
2. Use the up or down pushbutton to select the appropriate P modes according to the descriptions in
the Display Characters and P Mode Settings topic.
3. Simultaneously press and release the up, down, and send pushbuttons to toggle the P mode setting
On and Off.
The display then shows an On or Off message indicating the new P mode setting and then
immediately exits the P mode.
You can activate multiple P modes to capture an RC function - refer to the Default Mode Settings
topic for the P mode default settings when you connect power to the IRIS unit.
4. Repeat steps 3 - 6 described in the Capturing RC Functions in Default Mode topic to capture the RC
function.
IRIS - Default Mode Settings
If you cannot capture an RC function in default mode, set the IRIS unit to Special
Function (SP) mode.
All settings are returned to their default state when power is removed from the unit.
