Therefore, you could first program the “Play” key on the “VCR” page with the VCR’s
“Play” Function Key IR command (which plays the VCR), then you could program the
same key to issue a sequence consisting of two steps - the VCR’s “Play” command,
followed by the LIGHTS “Dim” command. Note: Each actual step has two parts, “a” and
“b”. The overall flow is as follows:
1a. Identify the “MASTER KEY PAGE” on which the “Trigger Key“ that will trigger our
sequence is located. In this example we will select the “VCR” Master Key.
1b. Identify the “TRIGGER KEY” (on the currently selected page) that will trigger our
sequence. In this example we will select the “Play” Function Key.
2a. Identify what “PAGE” the FIRST command in our sequence is stored on. In this
example, the “Page” (where the first command is stored) will be the “VCR” Page.
This will be the same “page” as Step 1a, but ONLY if the first command in the
sequence will be the same as the sequence trigger.
2b. Identify what “KEY” (on the currently selected page) the FIRST command in our
sequence is stored on. In this example, the “Play” button is where the first command
in our sequence is stored. This will be the same “key” as Step 1b, but ONLY if the
first command in the sequence will be the same as the sequence trigger.
3a. Identify what “PAGE” the SECOND command in our sequence is stored on. In this
example, the “Page” (where the second command is stored) will be the “LIGHTS”
Page.
3b. Identify what “KEY” the SECOND command in our sequence is stored on. In this
example, the “#1 digit” is where our second command is stored. (In this example, the
actual code will be a Lutron Grafik Eye scene command that has been stored on the
“Lights” Master Key page, to the “#1 digit” Function Key location).
If your sequence consists of more than two steps, simply repeat steps 3a and 3b. The
concept of sequence programming is very straight-forward as long as you always think of
each step as having two parts, the “Page” and the “Key”.
Note: This is the exact same concept used with the Niles IntelliPad Programmable
Keypad, and applies to both manual programming and programming using IntelliFile II for
IntelliPad.
Purpose of the Master Key Pages
The ten Master Keys decide which “page” of IR command memory will be accessed.
When a Master Key is pressed, the Function Keys (on the right side of the remote) now
access that page of IR command memory. For example, when the “VCR” Master Key is
pressed, the “Play” key will play the VCR, and when the “DVD” Master Key is pressed, the
“Play” key will play the DVD. There are ten labeled Master Keys, each selecting a page of
memory with up to 32 individual IR commands on each page. This gives you a total
possible 320 addresses for IR commands for manual operation of the components in the
system.
Purpose of the Default Page
If you choose not to program a “Function Key IR” command or a “Function Key Sequence”
to any specific key on any of the ten Master Key pages, the IntelliControl will automatically
