ProntoEdit is the visual editor for creating and configuring Pronto
Configuration Files.
Short for Radio Frequency.
You can choose to operate your devices with RF signals instead of IR
signals. To use RF signals, you need an RF Extender. The advantage of
RF is that it spreads in all directions and that it pervades walls. In other
words, you can operate your devices from an adjacent room.
An RF Extender is a converter box that receives RF signals and turns
them into IR signals to operate devices. When your Pronto sends out RF
codes, the RF Extender receives them and sends out IR codes to your
devices.
The Settings Tool allow you to consult and adjust several settings, for
instance consulting the battery level, setting the date and time,
calibrating the touch screen, ...
Pronto simulator is a separate application in ProntoEdit package, which
simulates every aspect of your Pronto. You use Pronto simulator to test
your PCF without the need to download it to your Pronto. When you
make changes in Pronto simulator, they will not be saved in the
configuration file.
A soft button is a button that can be found on the touch screen. The
layout and the visual aspects of a soft button can be changed. You can
also configure the functions of the soft buttons.
A timer allows you to define actions to be carried out at predefined
times. For instance, you can set an alarm or program your VCR to record
your favorite daily TV-show.
The touch screen of your Pronto is the centered area that contains soft
buttons you can use to operate the remote control.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a 'plug and play' interface between a
computer and add-on devices (such as audio players, joysticks,
keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers).
