Action
An action is a command that will be executed by Pronto. An action can
be an IR code, a link, a delay or a beep. You can assign one or more
actions to a button or a hard button. It is the same as a macro.
Action list
An action list is a list of actions assigned to a button or a hard button.
An action list can contain up to 250 actions.
Animation mode
Pronto provides navigation feedback through graphical animations.
These animations can be found in the Animation mode. You can enable
and disable the animations of your Pronto in the Settings Pages.
Branding
Pronto contains a list of brands and their according IR codes in its
database. Pronto uses IR codes to control devices. Because there are
several brands using specific IR codes, you have to define the brand and
code set for each device.
Button alias
See Link.
Button backlight
The Button backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the
hard buttons on your Pronto, enhancing the visibility of these buttons.
Calibration
Calibrating the touch screen enables Pronto to exactly match the icons
on the touch screen with their predefined functions.
Code set
A code set is a list of IR codes. Audio and video devices of different
brands use different code sets. A device can only receive and execute
functions from the correct code set.
Cursor navigation
There are two ways of navigating through Pronto: using the touch screen
or using the cursor for navigation. When you select cursor navigation,
the cursor can only be used for navigating through devices and pages on
Pronto touch screen, not for controlling audio/video equipment.
Delay
A delay is a pause between two actions. A delay gives the device
enough time to execute the first action before it receives an impulse to
execute a second action.
Device
Every device in the configuration file appears on the Device Overview
Page of Pronto and in the tree view in ProntoEdit. A device represents
the equipment you want to control with Pronto, for instance a TV, VCR,
CD player, Amplifier, Satellite receiver or any device operated by an IR
remote. The device contains a number of pages with buttons.
Device action
A device action is an action that is executed automatically when you
select a device. E.g. when you select TV, you can learn your Pronto to
switch on the TV at the same time.
Device Overview
You use the Device Overview on Pronto to access the different devices.
The Device Overview contains buttons for each device in the
configuration. By pressing these buttons you navigate to the first page
of the selected device.
Device settings
The device settings are the type of device, the brand, the IR code set
and the functions. In order to control a device with your Pronto, you first
have to set the device settings.
