Each STYLE contains its own set of Backgrounds and GTL’s (Graphical Touch Links). Once a STYLE is selected, only its associated Backgrounds, Source buttons and Function Buttons (GTL’s) will be available.   Backgrounds To choose a style: 1)  Make sure you are in Graphics Mode. If not, click on the Graphics TAB in the XTR39 window. The GRAPHICS window should now be displayed in the work environment. 2)  Click on a STYLE from the list and browse the associated Source and Function GTL’s shown in the list until a desired style is found. 3)  Once a suitable style is found, click on the Backgrounds TAB and then click-&-drag (drag-&-drop!) the background onto the XTR39 Systems window.  Building a Page (Working with GTL’s) GTL’s (Graphical Touch Links) are in plain terms, a graphical button that can pressed to initiate a macro of IR commands or to call up a page of additional GTL’s. Source GTL’s will always call up a page of Function GTL’s and can also have a Macro associated with it if so desired. Function GTL’s can initiate Macros, call up an additional page of Functions, or do both with the same touch of the GTL. (i.e. Creating a MENU GTL can initiate a macro to call up a menu screen on a DVD player AND call up an additional page on the XTR39 screen containing the Cursor GTL buttons to be used when using the DVD menu.  Placing Source GTL’s  Once the Background is placed in the Systems window, click on the Sources TAB in the GRAPHICS window to display the Source buttons associated with that Style. 1)  Select a desired Source button (i.e. DVD, SAT, VCR etc..) and in the same manner, drag-and-drop the Source GTL onto the grid. Note: If a Source button with the proper legend (DVD, SAT, etc..) is not shown in the list, select the BLANK Source button (no lettering on the GTL) and drag it onto the Background. BLANK GTL’s may be edited and customized for text and color. Please see the section Editing GTL Properties below for instructions. 2)  Once on the Grid, the GTL can be placed anywhere on the screen. To move the GTL either Click and Drag to the proper placement, or simply select the GTL with the mouse and then use the arrow keys on the PC Keyboard to move the GTL around. 3)  Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for all desired Source buttons  Note: When a Source GTL is placed on the screen, a new PAGE is automatically inserted for placing Function GTL’s associated with that Source. If extra pages are needed for that Source, multiple pages can be inserted for a single source. (Please see Inserting Pages)  Placing Function Button GTL’s Once a Source page has been inserted, you may now start placing Function Buttons (GTL’s) associated with that Source onto the Source Page. 1)  Click on the Source button located in the XTR39 Systems window. The Source button should now appear selected. Note: GTL’s have an UP and DOWN graphic associated with them. UP depicts the GTL in its non-selected state and the DOWN graphic depicts the GTL in its

       - 22 - Inserting Labels A Label may be inserted anywhere on the GUI screen to give more detailed description to a GTL or a group of GTL’s. The label may even be used as a Function GTL or even as a Source GTL if so desired.  To insert a Label proceed as follows: 1)   Right-Click on any blank area (no GTL’s) in the XTR39 Systems window. 2)  From the Drop-Down menu, select whether this will be a text Label, text-only Source Button, or a text-only Function Button. 3)  Once the label is placed in the Systems window, move the label to its desired location. 4) Right-Click on the label and select Properties from the drop-down menu to edit the text as outlined in the previous section.  LEARNING IR COMMANDS (Creating Palette Files) IR Codes from Manufactures remotes of each of the components you wish to control from the XTR39, may be learned into the Universal Dragon™ software and stored in Palette files for placement onto the XTR39. In order to do this, the XTR39 must be connected to the PC as outlined above.   NOTE: Before starting this section, included in the Universal Dragon™ software, is an extensive IR Code Library. Before learning IR commands from multiple remotes, check the IR Library to see if your IR commands for each of the components you wish to control are listed.  NOTE: If you have previously created Palette files in any other versions of Universal Dragon™ software on your PC (for programming URC-2’s, MRC88, etc) these files can be Imported by clicking on the Import button on the Palette Editor   and then browsing to the location of the palette you wish to import. If all of your codes are either located in the IR Code Library or are already learned in palettes, please proceed to the section entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s.  Built-In IR Code Library The Universal Dragon™ software has a built-in IR Code Library. This is basically a large database of manufactures IR commands for a whole assortment of components at your disposal. If your manufacture’s codes are in our database there might not be any need to ‘teach’ IR commands into the system. To check the Universal Dragon™ software’s extensive IR Code Library, do the following: 1)  Click on the Palette Editor on the right side of the application if it is closed.  2)  Click on the mode button to change the “Mode: Palette” to “Mode: Edit”                           3)  Click on the Manufacturer and then the Component Type (i.e. VCR, DVD etc.) A list of Command Groups for that manufacturer’s components IR codes will be displayed. You will need to test commands from these different Command Groups to see which one works with your component. Please see the next section entitled Testing IR Commands in the IR Library.
       - 23 - Testing IR Commands in the IR Library Once you have located all of the Command Group codes for the appropriate Manufacturer/Component, you will need to test the commands to see which Command Group is associated with your specific component. NOTE: To test commands out of the Library, the PC running Universal Dragon™ software must be connected to the XTR39 via the USB programming port.  With the Manufacturer and Component expanded and the proper library selected.   1)  With the PC still connected to the XTR39 programming port, select the “TEST” button  .  The TEST button should now become highlighted  . 2)  Click on the command listed in the IR Library. The controlled component should respond to each command sent. (i.e. “Power” turns the source ON or OFF, “PLAY” plays the content etc.) If a component does not respond to a command, click on another Command Group listed under that manufacturer and retest. 3)  If the codes for the specified component are present, you are now ready to start creating Macro’s under the GTL buttons you created in the previous section. Please see the Section
       - 24 - entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s. If no working commands can be found in the IR Library, please proceed to the following section entitled Learning IR Commands.  Learning IR Commands (XIR2) An IR Learning Eye is located on the front of the XTR39.  Note: Commands learned through the XTR39 front learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT backwards compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…).   Palettes created in earlier version of Dragon Drop-IR™ software (XIR1 method) CAN be imported into the Universal Dragon™  software. (i.e. palettes created in DragMRC, Drag450 or Drag460 software CAN be imported and used in Universal Dragon™).  Note: When learning IR commands through the front learning-eye, it is suggested that the environment be free of any IR interference. This could include Fluorescent or Halogen lighting, sunlight, Plasma or LCD displays and interference from PC Monitor display.  Using the Palette Editor NOTE: The Palette Editor is available whether a project is opened or not.  1)  Click on the Palette Editor on the right side of the application if it is closed.   2)  Locate and Select the   symbol next to the desired BRAND as shown in Figure 20 (i.e. Sony, Panasonic etc). A list of Components will appear. (See later section for ‘Adding Brands’.) 3)  Locate and Select the   symbol next to the type of COMPONENT as shown in Figure 21 (DVD, SAT etc) (See later section for ‘Adding Components and Functions’). 4)  The Palette Editor will now be open to the “Brand” & “Component” selected. A list of FUNCTIONS for that type of component will appear as shown in Figure 22. Review the list of Functions and compare to the source remote. If your function is not displayed or not named appropriately see the section entitled ‘Editing Function Names in the Palette Editor. 5)  Click on the RECORD button in the middle of the Palette Editor.   The RECORD button text will become highlighted.   Dragon is now ready to learn the IR codes for the specific brand/component selected.  Note: Before performing step 6, read steps 6 thru 8 as the RECORD process is a timed function. You will have 10seconds to perform the process before the system times out.  6) Place the Teaching remote pointed towards the IR Learn eye on the XTR39.
       - 25 - 7)  Select the command the left side of the Palette Editor (i.e. Power, Play, Stop etc.). A message stating “Waiting to receive IR” will appear    8)  While continuing to keep the source remote within 1” from the IR learning eye, press and release the corresponding command button on the source remote. A symbol ( ) will appear to the left of the selected function indicating that an IR code has been learned.   Note: If you wait longer than ten seconds, a time-out message will appear.   Click “OK” and try again. If you continue to have problems learning commands, please see the Trouble Shooting section at the end of this manual. Note: When teaching commands in this fashion, only a quick tap of the teaching remote is required. Do not press and hold the button until the message goes away. 9)  Repeat steps 6 thru 8 for all of the source functions to be used on the XTR39.
       - 26 - Editing Function Names in the Palette Editor If a function displayed on the Source Components Remote is not displayed in the function list on the left hand side of the Palette Editor window, you can either RENAME an existing function or ADD a new function to the list. Editing function names in the Palette Editor will only effect the Palette File you are currently saving to (i.e. Making a change to a function under DENON DVD will only appear in DENON DVD).  To Rename an Existing Function: 1)  Right-click on the function to be renamed. Choose   from the drop-down menu. Edit the text as desired  and press ENTER on your keyboard to save.   To Add a New Function: Right-click on a blank area of the list and select   from the drop-down menu.

Testing IR Commands in the Palette Editor 1)  Be sure corresponding source for the commands to be tested is ON and connected to the XTR39.  2)  Direct the XTR39 towards the source (IR eye). 3)  With the PC still connected to the XTR39’s programming port, select   in the Palette Editor window.  The TEST button text will highlight  . 4)  Click on each of the command names one-by-one that need to be tested. The red light to the left of “TEST” will turn on as the IR command executes. 5)  The controlled component should respond to each command sent.(i.e. “Power” turns the source ON or OFF, “PLAY” plays the content etc.)   NOTE: Only functions with the   symbol will execute. 6)  If a component does not respond to a command, re-learn and re-test the IR command until the component responds. 7)  Repeat steps 1 thru 6 for all commands to be tested.
       - 27 - Creating a Palette File A Palette File is a file of learned commands that is ready to be placed under a GTL for use in the XTR39.  Note: As previously mentioned, Palette files created in Universal Dragon™ software (XIR2 method) cannot be used with other devices.  1. Select   to create a new palette file. 2.  Then choose to either add a new brand or component (to all brands).         Or right click on the brand/component list on the left side of the palette editor to add a brand or component (to a specific brand selected or to all brands on the list).  The new component will show up on the list along with RS232, XIR1 and XIR2 palettes added by default. Note: The XTR39 does not support RS232 commands. The XTR39 will learn IR commands under the XIR2 format.   Choose the palette to work with and then edit the list of commands as needed.  PLACING COMMANDS ONTO THE GTL’s (Creating Macro’s) All of the IR Codes (Palettes or IR Command Groups) should be confirmed and tested before continuing. In the sections to follow, you will be setting up the XTR39 for use in controlling a source. This will consist of setting up the Source Icons, placing IR commands onto the XTR39.  Selecting IR Palettes from the IR Code Library 1)  Click on PALETTE EDITOR on the right side Universal Dragon™ window if it is not already open.  2)  Click on the mode button to change the “Mode: Edit” to “Mode: Palette”                           3)  Click on the Component Type (i.e. VCR, DVD etc.) and then the Manufacturer. 4)  Find the Command Group file previously tested
       - 28 - Selecting IR Palettes Scroll the list (if necessary) and click on the component of each palette you need for your system (i.e. Pioneer CD, RCA DSS, etc). As you click on each file name, the palettes will appear side-by-side, left to right, with the filename in each title bar. NOTE 1: The various palettes and window boxes can be moved and sized (except the virtual keypads) for ease of use. If you click on a Palette file in the list and you do not see it on the screen, move some of the currently opened windows to see if it is hidden behind another window. NOTE 2: Each palette can be edited by clicking the Edit Palette bar or closed with the X button in the title bar.  Associating Commands To GTL’s (Drag And Drop Commands) 1)  Select the MACRO’s tab in the XTR39 Systems window 2)  Click the desired Source button on the XTR39 GUI Display. 3)  Click the Function button you wish to place a command under and select the applicable command from the palette for that component function. The code name (function/brand/component) for that button will appear in the Macro Command List on the XTR39 window. 4)  To add additional commands to the same button (i.e. creating a Macro Sequence), just repeat steps 2 & 3. Up to 40 Commands can be placed under each programmable button (See: “Programming Sequences”) 5)  Repeat for all GTL Function buttons and Source Buttons.  Timed Delays Timed Delays can be placed in a sequence. This is desired in macros where a delay is needed between two commands to allow for a unit to respond completely to the previous command (i.e. After a POWER ON command is given a Delay is usually necessary before the next command will be recognized or when entering multiple digit channel commands to a CBL or SAT box). 1)  Click the up/down arrows next to “DELAY” in the Macro Command List window for the number of seconds you want up to 30 seconds (i.e. 2 = 2 seconds) or simply highlight the number in the Delay window and enter the number using the keyboard. 2)  Left Click and Drag the “Delay 2 Sec” line and drop it between any two commands you have placed on the Command List.  NOTE: As you drag a command upward in the list and you want the command between two existing commands, drop it on the lower one. As you drag downward, drop it on the upper one. Delete Highlighting a single command in the Macro Command List and right-click the command with the mouse. Select Delete from the pop-up menu will remove the command from the Macro Command List.
       - 29 - Testing Commands Placed on the virtual XTR39 Window Commands placed under buttons in the virtual XTR39 window may be tested prior to downloading. To test commands, the PC must be connected to the XTR39 and the XTR39 must be pointed at the source to be controlled. In Universal Dragon, under the menu items, change from Normal Mode to Test Mode.  Select the appropriate GTL button in the XTR39 window with the IR codes placed under it to test. (i.e. PLAY button). The button should now appear selected. Commands listed under the Macro Command List for that selected Command should now be executed in order of appearance.   TRANSFERRING THE PROJECT The project can now be transferred to the XTR39.  NOTE: Before continuing, make sure the PC is connected to the XTR39 and a ‘BASE UNIT WHO AM I’ can be performed.   To transfer the project to the XTR39, complete the following steps. 1)  Click on BASE UNIT and select ‘Who am I…’, and “XTR39” from the menu list. Verify a valid response is received. 2)  Click on FILE and select ‘Transfer Project’ from the menu list or simply press CTRL + B on the PC keyboard. 3)  A file transfer dialog box should appear and start showing progress of the transfer process.    4)  A spinning wheel will appear on the XTR39. This indicates project data from the PC is being transferred to the XTR39. Do not disturb the connection between the PC and XTR39 until the transfer is complete.  5)  The XTR39 will automatically restart with the newly create project.     Congratulations, you have finished programming the XTR39!
