apple remote controller

[Ben_01880]

Most new Macs come with a hand held remote controller. Is there a way to have a

Labview Vi respond to it. Does it generate Apple events?

Hi Ben,

There are IrDA functions built into LabVIEW, but they are designed for more advanced communication through the Ir port, but it sounds like you need basic reading without the protocol overhead.

I don't have an IR port on my computer, but I believe it is listed as a com port in the device manager and therefore you can set up a VISA resource for it in MAX and use VISA commands.

Let me know if you have any sucess or any questions.
