							Remote Control of the
Computer
Thischapter describes the ELP Remote Programmer. When this utility is
running on your computer, you can use the remote control to control your
software program. The trackball moves the mouse on your computer, and the
five programmable buttons can be used to drag or click windows or icons.
If you wish, you can also assign a keyboard macro to a programmable button.
A macro is a sequence of up to 32 keystrokes and mouse commands. If you
assign a macro to a button, pressing the button has the same effect as typing the
keys on the keyboard or using the mouse. For example, if you have Windows and
assign Alt + Tab to one of the buttons, you can cycle through your open programs
with the press of a button. If you have a Macintosh, you could assign Apple + 0
and open a new document by pressing a button.
In order to use the ELP Remote Programmer, you must first install the Serial
Communication Kit as described in Chapter 1.

							ELP Remote Programmer Templates
Five buttons on the remote control can control the computer if you are running
the ELP Remote Programmer. The five programmable buttons are the Prev, Next,
Drag, and Adjust (+ and -) buttons.
The keys and mouse commands assigned to each button are stored in a file
called a template. The ELP Remote Programmer comes with a series of tem-
plates. Each is customized for several popular software programs.
Only one template can be active at a time. The following table shows the button
assignments for the default template. This template is active the first time you
start the ELP Remote Programmer. You can modify the default template or any
of the custom templates for your own purposes.

							Starting the ELP Remote Programmer
The ELP Remote Programmer can run under Windows or on the Macintosh. This
section provides general information that applies to both platforms. For specific
information on how to use the ELP Remote Programmer on your platform, see
the online help, which is available by selecting Help in the menu bar.
Do the following to start the ELP Remote Programmer:l
Windows: Open the ELP Utility program group by double-clicking on it.
Then double-click the ELP Remote Programmer icon.l
Macintosh: Open the ELP Utilities folder by double-clicking on its icon.
Double-click the ELP Remote Programmer folder and then double-click the
ELP Remote Programmer icon.
When you start the ELP Remote Programmer, you see a screen similar to the
one on the next page. This screen, which represents the buttons on the remote
control, allows you to change the button assignment and then activate the
template so you can use it with the remote control.
The ELP Remote Programmer must be running on your computer in order for
you to use the remote control to control your software program. If you do not
need to program any buttons, you can minimize the ELP Remote Programmer
screen so it appears as an icon at the bottom of the screen.
Note: Although both ELF Remote Programmer and ELP Link can be running
on your computer at the same the, only one can be active. If both are
running, ELP Link has priority.
