Function Column – This column has the name of each command that is part of the
remote file. The red dot next to the function name indicates that there is an IR code
associated with that particular function.
Frequency Column – This is the carrier frequency that the IR code will be
transmitted at. This can be edited directly from this screen by selecting the box with
the mouse and typing in a new frequency.
Repeats Column – Enter in this box the number of times that the repeating part of
the IR code is sent by the remote. Some infrared receivers need a command to be
repeated a certain number of times to work properly, and some may not work
properly if the command is repeated at all. Even if a command works properly,
increasing the number of repeat times may be necessary if the command is to be
used in a macro. Since macro commands are not automatically sustained while a
button is pressed, they may need to automatically repeat more times to be
recognized.
Sustain Column – Check this box to control whether or not the IR code should
repeat if the button is held down. Most infrared codes will transmit continuously as
long as the button is held down, but some infrared receivers may not work properly
if the command is repeated at all. If the Sustain button is checked, the code will be
transmitted for as long as the button is held down or the Minimum Repeat times,
whichever is greater. If the Sustain button is not checked, the code will be
transmitted only the Minimum Repeat number of times regardless of how long the
button is held down.
