PSR Emulator for the Wintek Wintrax Jukebox Software
This free emulator enables Wintrax to control a multi-disc CD changer via IRCommand2. It does this by emulating the PSR serial interface device. The emulator is limited to controlling one CD changer and like the original Wintrax software it works only under Win95/Win98/WinME. The emulator uses the COM interface so you must have a registered copy of IRCommand2 to use it.  Contact us if you're interested in this software.

Button Layout Tip

Buttons not lining up when you drag them from the button kit? Here's the way to do it:

1. Drag the desired button from the kit and drop it anywhere within the device panel. It must be completely within the panel or it will not be created.

2. Now press and hold the CTRL key and drag it again to where you want it located. This mode of dragging uses a snap grid to simplify alignment of buttons. You can re-position any existing button in a device panel by holding the CTRL key and dragging it with the mouse.

3. New with version 3.72 - the status bar now shows you the x/y position of a button during dragging to further help with getting buttons lined up.

IRCommand2 and Girder  
IRCommand2 can be controlled from Girder™ (Proximis) by using the COM interface. You must have either a Full or Lite registration for IRCommand2 to use the COM interface. To use COM with Girder you must load the LuaCOM library into Girder. This discussion topic on the Proximis web site provides additional details.

Continuous Macro Loops
Click delays make it possible to create a macro that executes periodically for an indefinite period. To do this simply add a click delay to the end of your macro then click on the macro button being programmed to add it as the last statement in the macro. If this macro is clicked once it will then execute continuously at the interval of the click delay. You must use a click delay for this to work, or the loop will be ignored.

You can stop execution by opening the Timer Event Schedule dialog (View/Timer Event Schedule) and then canceling the next execution of the macro. Exiting and restarting IRCommand2 will also stop macro loops.
