SMODE2(1) FSF SMODE2(1)NAME
mode2, smode2, xmode2 - shows the pulse/space length of infrared sig‐
nals
SYNOPSIS
smode2 [options]
DESCRIPTION
The main purpose of these programs is to check operation of your home-
brew LIRC receiver hardware and to see the IR waveform of the remote
controller without an expensive oscilloscope. Very useful for debug‐
ging. Of course this program won't work with hardware that decodes the
signals itself like e.g. TV cards or the Irman.
smode2 uses the svgalib to show the IR waveform in a graphical repre‐
sentation. The time division is variable from 1 ms/unit to extremely
high values (integer type) but there is no point increasing this value
above 20 ms/unit, because one pulse is about 1 ms. This kind of presen‐
tation is much more exciting than the simple pulse&space output showed
by mode2.
