Hello,

I am trying to genrate Pronto Hex Codes for a Samsung BluRay Home Theatre system using the following:

Protocol = NECx-f16
D = 67
S = 83
F = 0:255

I can generate a single code (e.g. F = 12) without any issue.

I can't generate multiple functions at once, e.g. functions 0 to 255.

According to the documantation, using F = 0:255, should generate the 256 codes I want.

However when I use F = 0:255, I receive the following error:

InvalidArgumentException: Parameter F: unparsable value '0:255'


I am complete newbie with IrScrutinizer, the ability to generate multiple codes at once would be a real time save.

Can anyone help me?

Sure.

Just giving the user 256 signals just in the face is probably not a good idea, so you get all only when exporting. To do this (after you have filled in the generate/render pane), select the "Export" pane, select an export format of you liking, for example "text", make sure "Pronto Hex" is checked, and click "Export rendered" (in older versions "Export generated"). The will generate a file with all your signals.

BTW, you appear no have the latest version.

Hi Barf,

I tried exporting, but catch the exact same error.

Again, exporting work with a single hex code

I am using version 2.3.1 of IrScrutinizer, latest (stable) from the github.

I am using version 1.2.10 of IrpTransmogrifier, there is a 1.2.11 on the github but it will not install for me.

I did sort of get around the problem by using an AutoIt script, which takes about 5 minutes to generate the codes and save to file. I am sure exporting would be much quick than that.

Hmmm,

I can assure you that it works for me, but since you probably do not take "this cannot happen" as an answer: Please document exactly what you are doing, either with a short video, or with a number of screenshots.

> there is a 1.2.11 on the github but it will not install for me.

Mind telling me in detail what the problem is?

Ok, here you go:

Step 1:
I copy a learned IR code in to the 'Scrutinize Signal' tab and press the 'Scrutinize' button.
That gives me:
The Protocol (NECx-f16)
The Device (67)
The Sub (83)

Step 2:
I select the 'Render' tab and input:
The Protocol (NECx-f16)
The Device (67)
The Sub (83)

Then in the 'Function' (F) box I enter '0:255'. (without the quotes!)

When I press the 'Render' button, I get the error:

InvalidArgumentException: Parameter F: unparsable value '0:255'

If I hit the 'Export' button. I get the same error message.

Ok, please install the 2.4.0 prerelease (ci-build). (It is 99% identical with the future 2.4.0 release).

Actually, I feel somewhat ashamed for not having made an official release since July last year; there are actually quite a few improvements in 2.4.0...

I used to IR Tool, MakeHex, Hex to CCF and so on. Time consuming and not alway accurate.

IrScrutinizer is a massive step up, with a wide array of functions that I have hardly looked at, so far. I only picked up my Pronto again a couple weeks ago and only came across IrScrutinizer a week ago. I freely admit I was afaid of it at first, but read (some of) the documentation, and here we are.

Really excellent tool!

Thanks again and keep up the great work.
