V. Reprogram PixiePlus cont’d
If the button did not seem to learn correctly, press any other
button on the PixiePlus, then press the target button again to
rearm it, and repeat the learning procedure.
8. Repeat for each button: While still in learning mode,
program and verify each button.
9. Set a button to macro mode: If a button has been
programmed with multiple commands, the button may be
configured to send all commands with a single button press. By
default, buttons are configured to Round Robin mode.
After verification, and while still in learning mode, press and
hold the button you wish to set to macro mode for approxi-
mately five seconds. The PixiePlus will beep three times to
indicate that it has now been set to macro mode.
Each button must be independently set to macro mode.
If a button is reprogrammed the code will automatically default
back to round robin mode.
Press-and-hold repeat commands (such as volume ramping)
are not available for buttons set to macro mode. A Macro button
can send one and only one instance of each code with a single
button press. There is a 300 millisecond delay between each
code in the series. Some devices may not be able to respond to
multiple commands sent at this frequency.
10. To control multiple units of the same device: One
PixiePlus may send identical codes to multiple units of the same
device without any additional configuration. For example, you
may control two identical projectors with a single PixiePlus by
adding an additional IR emitter and wiring it from the PixiePlus
to a second projector. A single button press on the PixiePlus will
send identical codes to both devices, and the PixiePlus will
control them in tandem.
11. To control multiple devices: Different buttons on a single
PixiePlus may be programmed with codes from different remote
controls.
Example: You wish to control power and source selection on a
projector, and volume on an IR-controllable amplifier.
To do so, wire one IR emitter to the LCD monitor and the
second IR emitter to the amplifier. Program the PixiePlus power
and source buttons with the codes from the LCD monitor
remote control. Program the PixiePlus volume buttons with the
volume control codes from the amplifier remote control.
