2.4 IR Library Test (Fig. 16)
An important feature of the Essentia Configurator is the
ability to test each IR code as it is added to the IR Library.
This insures that every code will work reliably.
When a new code is added, while it is still highlighted, click
on the test button, or double click on the highlighted code.
This will open the IR Library Test window. Make sure that the
IR Learning Interface box’s IR emitter is either facing the IR
receiver window of the source equipment or an IR emitter is
plugged into one of the two IR emitter outputs and affixed
to the IR receiver window of the source equipment. Clicking
on the test button will cause the IR Learning interface to
emit the code. The source equipment should respond
appropriately to the command if it has been stored
correctly. A test result box will open where you can record
yes or no to the test. Three successful test results are
required before the Passed count turns green. Clicking
the OK button will save the results in the IR Library. The
Tested column for that command will show the number of
successful tests performed.
Although not required, testing each
code is highly recommended.

2.5 Adding a Function Code (Fig. 17)
If a required IR function is not in the list of those provided in
the library template, it is possible to add a code to the list
by clicking the Create New button. The pull-down menu
contains a list of all standard IR codes. A name not found in
the list can be typed in, but it is recommended that you use
the names provided in the list. This conserves memory in the
Essentia. Clicking on the OK button proceeds directly to
the IR recording process.

2.6 Cleaning Up an IR Library
Unused IR codes can be deleted from the list by highlighting
the code and either clicking the Delete button or right-
clicking and selecting Delete.
When you are finished editing the library, select Done.
3. Defining Sources
The Sources tab allows you to define the source
component attached to each of the six source inputs. All six
sources are not needed, but at least one source must be
defined.
