Cheers mate, sorry been very busy last couple of days...

What behavior exactly?
At its most basic: the RP6 takes a second or two to send each command. Thus preventing repeats and even making rapid button pressing impossible.
This means nothing without specifics as to what you are
attempting to do. Be specific about your examples.
The reason I wasn't specific is because the problem is general. i.e. it doesn't matter if it's me trying some kind of sustain or repeat, or simply pressing the button repeatedly. The RP6 takes too long sending the command before any subsequent command can be transmitted.
He means sustain. If the IR code is placed on a button,
right click to edit properties, and then click on the
infrared tab. Look for the sustain checkbox. If the IR
code is in a system macro you will see the "repeat.."
option you mentioned when you double click the IR command.
Ah, that sustain. Yes, it's checked.
I recommend that you do not place sustaining commands
on the processor directly. Place the commands directly
on the desired button. The reason for this is that each
system macro is "triggered" by an IR command that is transmitted
by the RF receiver once it is received from the remote.
That trigger code can repeat but it can not sustain. The
only way to achieve a sustain in to place the command
on the button. The remote can sense that you are holding
the button down and keep the command sustained. You can
not do this if the command is triggered by another code.
The commands are already placed directly on the buttons. There are no system macros.
Again, what exactly do you mean?
I hope my explanation above is sufficient. I really don't know what else to say. I can give specific details about what I'm trying to do but as the problem is so basic to me that just seems to confuse things.
I press a button. RP6 green light comes on for 1-2 seconds.
I have to wait until that clears before any further command sending will be transmitted.
That is the crux of the problem. Response is way too slow.
The Receiver is always responding accurately (i.e. light flashes to indicate data received quickly and consistently for sustain).
I have had all kinds of quirky behavior. In fact I was
screwed today by some uncooperative components but it
had little to do with the RTI system. Bad learned codes
or library items, RF interference, components gone belly
up and programmer error or inexperience make up a the
bulk of the issues you will encounter.
hmm, yes. Uncooperative components. I've been amazed at the amount of faulty equipment that crops up. I wonder whether I have some kind of voodoo curse or something. And don't even get me started on alarm panels.
