Recording The Signal

Take the Total Remote IR device away from the pocket PC jack (for headphones). Next run a line out cable from the pocket PC to the line in port or to the microphone. If you like, you can get a 3.5 mm stereo audio cable to help you with this. You can buy a 3.5 stereo audio cable anywhere where electronics are sold.

On your PC use a program for sound editing that edits sounds as well as removes channels. One such program is SoundForge: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/soundforgefamily.asp.

No matter what recording application you use, make sure that you set the recording format to: 44Hz, 16 bit Stereo. PCM. You are going to be saving the sound signal as a .wav file. Choose the record option in the sound recording application. On the pocket PC press the button which you have designated as the power signal. Use the line out from the headphone jack).

Next, stop the recording and press the play button. If you have recorded the signal accurately you should be able to hear pulsing and beeping sounds which is exactly what the IR signal sounds like. If you are using the SoundForge application you will be able to see these sounds as a .wav graphic. Now you are ready to highlight the correct channel and put it on mute. Make sure that you don’t miss this step otherwise the sound won’t be properly through the IR device. Save the sound recording this way: 44 Hx, 16 bit stereo, PCM .wav file. For example, you can call it channel.wav.
