Step 5: Add a Serial and an IR Device
Adding an A/V device (projector displays, VCRs, DVDs, etc.)
for an MLC to control requires that you first add the device’s
driver to the GC configuration.
Downloading additional drivers
If you successfully downloaded device drivers in
"Step 1: Download Device Drivers", proceed to "Adding a serial
driver" on the following page.
If you have not downloaded or need additional device drivers
for your open project, you'll need to save and close the current
project to access new drivers. To do so,
1. Select New from the File menu, but click the Yes button
when prompted to save.
2. If the file was not previous saved, you must enter a project
name in the Project Name field.
3. Click the OK button. This automatically closes the current
project.
4. Click the Add Drivers Subscription button on the start
options dialog.
5. Follow the instructions under "Step 1: Download Device
Drivers".
6. Reopen the saved project by choosing Open An Existing
Project from the list of options.
You are now ready to add A/V devices to the configuration
using the new drivers.
