SIMPLIFIED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROGRAMMING A UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER

摘要

A universal transmitter (30) disclosed is capable of transmitting a plurality of signals at a plurality of different modulations and frequencies, and provides a simplified programming setup so that multiple signal configurations can be programmed. The transmitter comprises a signal configuration input (52) which an operator can use to selected a desired signal configuration for transmission, a controller (54) for interpreting the selected signal configuration, storing it to memory (56), retrieving it when the appropriate user input (50) is depressed, and outputting it to a transmitter circuit (58) for transmitting the selected signal configuration received from the controller (54) at a predetermined modulation and frequency, and at least one user input for actuating the transmitter (58) and identifying to the controller (54) what signal configuration is to be transmitted.
