D. Complex Programming
Complex programming assigns multiple codes to a single button, and defines how those codes will
be sent out. Each button may be programmed with up to 16 codes, which can be sent inside macros
(multiple commands grouped to play back sequentially upon a single button press), in “round robin”
fashion (different individual codes sent on alternating button presses), or in a combination of the two
(macros sent in an alternating fashion).
To program multiple codes to a single button, each code must have either a delay or a round robin
stop separating it from other codes.
Complex Programming: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Arm the Button for Learning. While the PixiePro is in Learning Mode, press the target button
twice quickly to arm it for complex programming. It should beep twice and slowly blink to indicate
that it is armed for learning. Hold the remote control in the sweet spot you previously identified.
Note: If the button beeps only once, you have accidentally armed it for Simple Learning. Press any
other button to exit Simple Learning mode. Now rearm the button for Complex Learning.
2. Learn the First Code. Position the remote control in the sweet spot and beam the first code to
be learned. The PixiePro should beep three times to indicate success.
3. Specify a Stop or Delay. Use the Volume Up button to scroll through the stop and delay choic-
es (see Stop and Delay Values chart on page 12). Once you reach the stop or delay you wish to
use, press a Power button to confirm that selection. If you are using the Power button module with
both On and Off power buttons, either can be used to confirm your selection. Note: By default, a
macro will continue sending until it is complete, and will not allow any other command from the
PixiePro. The hourglass LED will remain illuminated for as long as the sequence is sending. Keep
this in mind before configuring long delays between codes.
Final Stop indicates this button is done with learning and you will program no more
codes. Final Stop is the first stop you will see after beaming a code while in Complex
Learning Mode. Press a Power button to select. The PixiePro will beep four times rapidly
to indicate Final Stop has been accepted, and will then beep three times more slowly to
indicate that the button is completely programmed and has entered Verification Mode.
Note: If a button is disarmed at any point during programming prior to programming a
Final Stop, all learned codes will be lost.
Round Robin Stop specifies that the current button press is complete, and you are ready
to enter the first code for the next button press (i.e. the next round robin code). Hit the
Volume Up button a single time to reach Round Robin Stop, then press a Power button
to select. The PixiePro will beep four times rapidly to indicate that the Stop has been
accepted, and will then beep twice more slowly to prompt you to learn the next code.
Delays 0-0 through 3-7 specify different delay times between codes (see Stop and Delay
Values table on page 12). These delays can be as short as 100 milliseconds (Delay 0-0)
or as large as 10 minutes (Delay 3-7). After each delay has been entered, the PixiePro
will beep four times rapidly to indicate that the delay has been accepted.
4. Finish Programming. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the next codes in the sequence. Note: to
finish programming a button, the last choice must be Final Stop. This indicates that you are all done
learning codes for this button.
5. Verification Mode: Immediately after finishing learning all codes, the button will blink rapidly to
indicate that it is ready for verification. Press it to verify that the codes were learned correctly. The
PixiePro will emit the codes as they were learned. Because the PixiePro will emit the codes during
this step, you may test that the learned codes will correctly control the device or devices.
