You use default mode, which is automatically set when you connect power to the IRIS unit, to capture the majority of HC functions. The table below shows the IRIS unit settings for default mode. Before capturing HC functions, make sure the baud rate in the IRIS unit is set properly, and connected to a PC running the IRLIB Library Management Program. Refer to the IRLIB Library Management Program instruction manual to store captured HC functions. Default Mode Settings Default Baud P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 Setting 9600 off on off on on off Capturing HC functions in default mode To capture HC functions in default mode: 1. Make a list of the name and sequence of the HC functions you want to capture. The standard order for HC functions is listed in the HC IR Functions section on page 6. Connect the RS-232 cable to the DB-9 connector on the IRIS unit and the RS-232 port on your PC, as shown in the Cables and Adapters section on page 6. Set the baud rate in the IRIS unit to match the PC baud rate. Refer to the Baud Rate Settings section on page 5 to set the baud rate. Then, connect the 12 VDC or 12 VAC power supply to the 12 VDC connector on the IRIS unit. The READY LED lights and 01 appears in the display. Hold the HC device approximately 3-inches away from the IR capture window. Press and hold the first key on the HC to capture the first function. Release the HC key as soon as the READY LED goes off. The [ ] briefly appears in the display to indicate the HC function is captured. Then, 01 appears and the READY and VERIFY LEDs light.

E1 or ER messages The Er/E1 message appears when there is a communication problem with the PC and not an error in capturing the IR functions. E1 or Er Messages Problem A Hand Control can't seem to capture the codes. The AXB-IRIS is able to verify the codes, but when the Send Command is pressed, an Er appears on the unit's display. [. . . ]
