Global Caché GC-IRL — Infrared Learner (PC-based IR Code Capture Tool)

The Global Caché GC-IRL is a USB/RS-232 infrared learner used to capture IR commands from remote controls for use in home automation and control systems (compatible with the GC-100 command format).

How It Works

• Point any remote control at the GC-IRL's IR sensor from 6–24 inches away and press a button.
• The GC-IRL captures the full IR spectrum (30 kHz – 500 kHz) and digitizes the signal.
• The unit connects to a PC via RS-232, where the free IR Learner Utility displays the captured code.
• Codes are shown in GC-100 or CCF format and automatically copied to the clipboard for easy database creation.

Key Features

• Captures full IR spectrum signals from 30 kHz to 500 kHz
• Digitizes IR signals for use in automation/control system programming
• Works with PCs running Windows 2000/XP
• Free companion IR Learner Utility software for capture, display, and clipboard export

Typical Use

The GC-IRL is used by integrators and DIY users to build custom IR command databases for devices that aren't already in a system's built-in code library — for example, capturing the exact codes from an obscure or older remote control so they can be reproduced by a GC-100, iTach, or other Global Caché IR-output device.
