GeorgeR,

Had you programmed the original TSU7000? PEP2 is a different environment, but replacing model A with model B is much easier in PEP2 than PronotEdit Pro.

Click on the "Equipment & Codes" tab, select a component, and use the Replace Component button. Note that this operation is not always 100% effective because the button operation spellings might vary between the ancient program and the current database. For example, and old "Skip Track" function, might be known as "Next" in the current database. You'll need to check each button, but most of this type of error will be flagged with a yellow caution triangle in the Component Function area or on the button itself. One can step through a program in a minute or two and find all of these issues.

There are various means of fixing the problem. One can simply drag a line from the Component Function area to the "Actions" list, use [drag], or double click in the middle of a line in the "Actions" list. Try each of these techniques and use what works best for you.

Note that there may be a little annoying detail about the current program. During the transfer into PEP2, it is possible that a given device might appear several times in the "Project Components" list. This is more of an issue in multi-room programs. I suspect that your program is very straight forward. If this is true for you, I suggest that you consolidate all of these components into one component and delete the others. This may seem like an ugly task and in many ways it is, but one can burn more time fretting about needing to do it, than actually jumping in and doing it. And -- this only needs to be done once.

A good technique for accomplishing this is to enter a short, unique name in the "Component Location" area for each occurrence, then use the double click on an action line method to reassign the action to one of the Components, then delete the others. This will result in a simpler, much easier to maintain program going forward.

However, before doing any of the above, you should try the wizard and start a new program from scratch. In a few minutes you can generate a program that you may enjoy very much. You can always move, add, or delete buttons that are not to your liking. Or, if you don't like the wizard result, you can always continue to update the original program.
