FREEDOM EDIT
SETUP AND USE GUIDE 32
If you want to personalize your Avidea Remote even more beyond its standard
programming features, Freedom Edit is the tool for you to use. Freedom Edit
is the Avidea Remote’s companion software that you find on the included
CD-ROM.
You can find more information and updates of the software on
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/avidea.
Freedom Edit is the visual editor for creating and configuring the Avidea
Remote Configuration Files (NCF) on your computer. An NCF is a file that is
used to define the Avidea Remote behavior and look for the LCD touch
screen.
Note It is a good idea to make back-up copies of your own configurations. This can
be done with Freedom Edit.
With Freedom Edit you can:
• Define the types and brands of your Devices.
• Generate a new Device Page.
• Design the page layout and the appearance of buttons.
• Configure the behavior of the hard buttons and soft buttons.
• Access Freedom Edit’s extended help system by pressing F1.
• Save, duplicate and share NCFs, Devices, buttons, bitmaps or codes with
another Avidea Remote.
• Preview the NCF on the Freedom Emulator.
• Download the new configurations to your Avidea Remote and upload the
configuration file on your Avidea Remote to Freedom Edit by means of
the included serial cable.
1 Plug one end of the serial cable in the serial port on your computer.
2 Plug the other end of the serial cable in the serial port on the Avidea
Remote.
Note When the Avidea Remote is connected to the PC, the battery life will be
reduced.
