Hello.

New pronto owner and first post on these forums.
I received my TSU9400 a week ago and have been waiting for the release of PEP v2 in order to start the configuration. As stated above, PEP v2 is radically different so I would rather invest my time in learning how to use V2 only instead of having to go through V1 then V2 again.

Any update on the release date?
Is the beta V2 available anywhere?

If they don't release anytime soon what should I do with PEPV1 to be fully compatible with PEPV2 ....apart from no links.

Much obliged,

Cheers.

Be happy you're not running at 1920 x 1200. ;)

I've heard you can zoom in a lot on the new simulator so you should be fine.

You should consider starting with V1.


Nope.


Beta is not available to public.


Already discussed in previous pages of this thread. Short answer... YES but you have to put your IR codes into MyDatabase before you can load your config in V2.

;)

I am at 1920x1200 and it's great for editing multiple pages on screen at once, which will be removed in V2 unfortunately. Hopeless for simulator though haha!

Hi,
simple question:

As many of us, I have created all my devices IR codes in separate (hidden) pages and then I created activity pages that contain buttons linked to the devices.

Using the serial extender I have to define in the device page which IR Port the command is sent to.

This implies that if it won't be possible anymore to use links, when using a serial extender, then all the buttons of a single page will be sent to one single IR Port; but a single IR port can support only 2 devices, so it limits the number of devices of a single page to 2.

How will it work in PEP2?

I mean, now (in PEPv1) the Extender IR port is a property of the device, so if on the same page I am controlling different devices, I can now set different Extender IR ports on every device and then in my multi-device page create a button linked to button of the device. If in PEPv2 I won't be able to create links, then I must have the same Extender IR Port for all the devices in the

I mean, if there is no more the chance of linking a button, how will define for every button in a page which IR port in the extender it should use?

thanks.

Does anyone know if PEPV2 will allow a codeset for a single device to be exported and imported to/from MyDatabase? This would certainly mitigate some of the "hidden code page" issues as it would be easier to exchange/maintain device codes...

I've been wondering the same thing. Seems rather limiting, but hard to believe they would take a step backwards in flexibility. Guess we unprivileged ones will just have to wait and see. Besides, you don't have to upgrade!

Yes I know that I do not have to upgrade now, but I believe that as soon as a new firmware is released then it will only work with the new version of PEP (as it has always happened) :-(

Anyway, let's wait and see.

menino,

You can rest easy on your firmware concerns. The 5.0.6 firmware works with PEPV2. PEPV2 does generate extra content to go into the config file when it is downloaded. The design of the binary file downloaded to the remote for PEPV2 is just an extension on the capabilities of PEPV1 so I don't expect we'd ever lose backward compatibility but I could be wrong.

However, the XML schema of the internal file ConfigEdit.XML is completely different.

Lyndel,
do you know how the extender IR Port addessing problem that I have highlighted above will be solved in PEP2?

thanks

As I understand the "non-linking possibility" it's no-possibility to link "to a button which contains a IR code".

It will be always possible to link to a button which contains a "My Database" reference. Am I wrong ?

Pierre Neel

Well, if this is the case, then this should solve the problem.

Pierre, Links as we have known them are not available. The DB linking to which you refer is done through using common textual names for functions (Codes) in the Database.

If you'd like to read more about the importance of consistent names in the database, I suggest this as a starting point.

Menino,

In PEPV2, you configure project "Components" to which you attach an extender. The IR and RS-232 codes are attached to a component.

From there, you have the ability to "Replace Component" which is essentially selecting codes for component with another component from My Database or Factory Database.

From the above review:



Now what other countries would that be? I don't mind getting it now from that some other country ;-)
