IR ToolKit software works interactively with the IR-232 to create the database for your application. There are three tabbed sections in IR ToolKit:

Terminal displays RS-232 commands sent to and from the IR-232, selectable for Decimal, Hex or Hexadecimal formats – can also be used to send direct commands to the IR-232.
Properties sets up computer and IR-232 COM port settings, and overall IR-232 operation.
Program assigns native and custom codes to function database, defines which codes are sent for push and release, and saves the database to the IR-232.

Installation

Note: If your IR ToolKit has been "buggy" lately, it's likely Microsoft Update added a "Hotfix" security patch to your .NET 1.1 - or you've installed the latest version with the patch. The patch affects IR ToolKit operation, usually the program exits if you select File Open, Save, or Save As. Downloading version 1.1.0.7 (or later) will fix the problem.

Download IR ToolKit software from the Download bar at the right. UnZip and run the install program. If you do not have .NET installed, download from the same section, install, then run the IR ToolKit installer again.

When you press the Connect button on top, IR ToolKit will scan computer COM ports, find the IR-232 at the first available port, and find the correct RS-232 setting. You can select other COM ports, either direct or USB-driven.
