My Goal is to create a couple of hex codes I can copy into my Pronto TS1000 for Discrete On and Discrete Off.

I recently purchased a Channel Master DVR+. From Channel Master I received the following information about the remote control I received with the DVR+:
Discrete On 0x37   (Function 55 Decimal)
Discrete Off 0x38   (Function 56 Decimal)
The RCU IR transmission is based on the NEC TC-101 protocol. The normal carrier pulse frequency is 37.9 KHz with a nominal mark:space ratio of 1-2.

I was able to learn all the buttons on the DVR+ remote.
Here is what CCF2EFC program decoded for me:
    "Scan Forward"    "Learned"    (NEC) Error 0xBC34FE01 :1:52  EFC=148    freq=38.0KHz
    0000 006D 0022 0002 0154 00AA 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 05F3 0154 0055 0016 0E39

If I break it down I interpret the code as follows:
"Scan Forward"    "Learned"    (NEC) Error 0xBC34FE01 :1:52  EFC=148    freq=38.0KHz

Preamble
0000 006D 0022 0002

Lead In
0154 00AA 0016 003F

Data
0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015
0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015
0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F
0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 0015


0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F
0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015
0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F
0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 05F3

Lead Out
0154 0055 0016 0E39

I see the code above is for Device 1, Function 52.
Am I interpreting the code correctly?
What is the correct change to:

0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F
0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015
0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 003F 0016 003F
0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 003F 0016 05F3

to get Function 55 and to get Function 56.

I did read Barry Gordons topic on IR but not sure I understand it in this case.
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Get IrScrutinizer and ask it to decode the original Pronto Hex.  It will tell you that this is a variant type of NEC  (I've never heard of the term NEC -TC101), which the IR community has dubbed NEC-rnc, where rnc stands for Reverse Nibble Complement.  It decodes as NEC-rnc device 1, function 52.

To generate other Pronto Hex, go to the Generate tab, select NEC-rnc, enter 1 in the D box, leave S blank, and enter e.g. 55 in the F box.

Thank You for the link. I had been using IrMaster which is an older version.

Unfortunately IrScrutinizer doesn't generate a recognizable code. When selecting Nec-rnc and putting 1 in the D box and 55 in the F box with blank in the S box the code generated doesn't work.

here's whats generated

0000 006C 0022 0002 015B 00AD 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 05F7 015B 0057 0016 0E6C

The preambles are different with the generated one being 0000 006C 0022 0002
as opposed to 0000 006d 0022 0002

The lead ins/outs are different as well.

I'm open for any other suggestions.
Thanks

The differences you're seeing are less than 1% in frequency.  I think you should try generating a few more Pronto Hex in IrScrutinizer.  For example try function 52, which you already know to be Fast Forward.  Does the generated signal work?  If it does, it tend to cast doubt on 55 being correct.  If it doesn't, then the DVR is more finicky than most, and we'll have to try adjusting the timing.

This Widget-based capture says CM is using  NEC1-rnc, Device 1.

I tried generating function 52 as you suggested and it worked.
I tried generating functions that were not previously assigned and could not find a discrete OFF. Maybe I'll continue trying tomorrow.

Thanks

Were you able to figure out what the right Phonto hex code are for the discrete power on and power off? If so could you please post them?

With the help of IrScrutinizer, was able to create discrete on and off commands.

POWER ON: 47
POWER OFF: 46

According to Channel Master the commands are:
Discrete On 0x37 (Function 55 Decimal)
Discrete Off 0x38 (Function 56 Decimal)
These did not work for me.

This is very helpful to me. Based on iDoug comment these are the generated pronto irscrutinizer power codes. The Power On 47 works as a discrete, but the Power Off 46 appears to work as a toggle, on a URC780. The learned codes frm the DVR+ remote work (including the remote toggle), but the search for a discrete Power Off is still a puzzle. I also did confirm the URC discrete codes do not work at all.


Update Dec 2014: These worked for discrete's!

Thx
Power on 47

Use Discrete Power On for Power On and Discrete Power On + Delay 'X's + Power Toggle for 'off'.
