Currently i am using the LTM-1.0 Learn / Test Module that
is used in conjunction with the Speakercraft MZC-66 program
(EZ Tools).
Do you know what format it uses to store captured signals? Especially signals it didn't understand.
If it stores them in files on a PC, maybe I can figure out the format.
The program itself understands to the following Remote
Protocols:
My DecodeIr.dll software is free, including source code, including for commercial use. It understands a much wider range of IR protocols than that (and of course including those). Maybe you can suggest to the author of that program that he use DecodeIr.dll to quickly get access to a wider range of protocols.
The best thing i have found with this program is that
it also allows me to insert numbers into the program which
inturn generates the IR codes, which is how i have found
quite a few IR codes so far.
My MakeHex program (also free, including source code) generates Pronto Hex for the full set of possible function numbers of a given protocol and device number, over a wide range of protocols. Either by knowing how to read Pronto Hex, or by changing the final output stage of MakeHex, you could easily generate some other format if you like.
However, there are brands out there that we use (e.g.
Panasonic Plasmas, Samsung LCDs / Plasmas and Palsonic
LCDs to name a few) that all get lumped into the Unkown
category which doesnt give you any room to 'search' for
the IR codes.
Does anyone know what possible protocol these brands,
My programs certainly include the protocol Panasonic normally uses as well as the protocol Samsung normally uses. I think either Panasonic or Samsung might also brand LCDs or Plasmas that are made by some other company and/or use some other company's IR protocol. NEC is the most common protocol for such devices when they don't use the brands' own protocol. But you already have NEC. There might be yet more possibilities (I think I recall some Samsung devices using Zenith Protocol) but almost certainly my software includes the protocol.
I never heard of Palsonic, so I won't guess at their IR protocol.
if so is there a program that
will store them similar to EZ tools and still allow for
modification and searching for possible codes on those
devices
If you email me some samples (see profile), preferably something using Panasonic IR protocol so it's easy to recognise, I can take a quicj look and see if the format is obvious. If it is easy enough, I might write a little C++ code to read and write that format connected to DecodeIr and MakeHex.
