Basic Learning Question

Postby OlivierZ » Wed Aug 03, 2005 11:52 am

Hello,
i just receive my USV UIRT and it looks great.
Learning function sometimes works but probably because of my kownledgess-less

Question:
-what are the differences between RAW, STRUCT & Pronto learning Modes ?
-The same for Transmit Blocking & Not Blocking

I think those question are relative to IR basic knowledges: is there a way to get a tutorial about it ?

thans in advance

These are actually more developer-related questions, but here's your answers:

Raw, Struct, and Pronto formats are simply different ways to represent the IR data in an ASCII form. Raw and Pronto are the recommended formats for learning, since they are lossless, whereas Struct compresses the data to save space. Pronto has the added advantage that there are many Pronto codes available on the web.

Blocking vs. non-blocking Transmit controls whether the Transmit call 'blocks' until the IR has been fully transmitted. Non-blocking calls return to the caller immediately, and then it is the caller's responsibility to use a Windows Event variable to test whether the transmission has completed.
