    I have noticed that Girder supports more remotes that those that are listed on the features page. I would suggest you try some of the listed plugins with varying parameters and it might just work!

    If so let me know so i can put that up.

    Kind regards,
    Ron

    If anyone got the Packard Bell remote to work can you save your settings and send them to me??? I am completely confused as to how to get it to work...

    Hi all,
    this is my first post here so i would like to thank the Author & the plugins creators for this great program...

    I first D/L Girder 5 days ago so I'm still a newbee regardin Girder but i can share my experience with the Packard Bell Fast Media Remote:

    1. D/L Girder & extract to your desired location
    2. D/L Igor SFH56-device v0.99 (latest as of today), unzip to PluginsHardware
    3. Close & ReOpen Girder, goto File-> Settings-> Hardware PlugIns, now check the Igor plugin checkbox & press the Settings button on the left. now you need 2 things:
    First, select Com Port (Com1, Com2...)
    Second, Change "Input Signal" to "DCD"
    4. Good Luck...

    I hope it help all of those new PB FastMedia users floating around here :smile:
    Cheers

    It is also a good idea to reduce the priority level of the plugin (settings of Igor's plugin -> advanced) to 6. Windows XP will crash after a while if it is set at 7. May or may not affect other versions of Windows.
