Command Properties Window

The command properties window shows useful information about each command. To view the command properties window, right click on a command and select 'Properties'. Alternatively you may press Ctrl+P to bring up the command properties window.

An example of the command properties window is displayed below for a Winamp Play/Pause command:

All of the properties from the command properties window are displayed below:

• Name - This propery refers to the name of the command. This is editable from the commands panel.
• State - Enabled or Disabled.
• Event Source - Shows the name of the hardware device or other event source that is assigned to this command.
• Output - Shows the name of the output command.

This is a very important property that is directly editable from this window. This property determines how long Vectir should wait after this command is run before accepting the commands trigger event again.

This property is edited in milliseconds and the default value for most application commands is 500ms (half of a second). For volume commands, or mouse cursor movement the default value is 0ms. This ensures a fast response time.

The main purpose of this property is to prevent commands being run multiple times for each button press from an IR remote control. This is because each time you press a button on your remote control, the IR signal is usually transmitted multiple times.

If you find that a command is a bit slow to respond, you may need to reduce the enable delay.

For commands that require a fast response time and rely on remote buttons being held down, volume for example, it is recommended that the enable delay is set to 0ms.

If your commands are running multiple times for each button press, you may need to increase the enable delay.
