looking for a tool like IRTool

[AndrewZ]

IRTool allows to paste Pronto codes only in learned format. Is there a tool which will convert 'normal' Pronto codes (not a complete .ccf file!) to OFA format?
For example, this code could be decoded/converted manually, but IRTool will not accept it:
5000 0000 0000 0001 0000 003f

Thanks
Andrew

5000 means the RC5 protocol
0000 0000 0001 you can ignore this
0000 means device = 0
003f means (when converted to decimal) OBC=63

This is the discrete power on command for Philips/Magnavox TV, Plasma, Projector, etc.

That corresponds to TV/0054 EFC 018

There is no tool yet, because experts can convert such codes in their heads faster than we can launch IrTool and copy/paste/decode.

But we don't expect everyone to do that, and I know I should create a copy of IrTool that can do that. But I haven't had time yet.

I'm not sure what other tools might exist for tasks such as converting from those other forms to 0000 form. I think I've seen some discussion of those but haven't had time to investigate. But for directly converting (5000 ... -> RC5:0:63 etc.), I'm nearly certain no tool is available.

John, I know what does it mean. As I sad before, "this code could be decoded/converted manually", this code was taken only as an example. I just want to check if any software available around to do the job.

I assume you already know this, but DecodeCCF.exe/DecodeIR.dll will decode a number of commands that start with 900x, 7000, 600x, and 500x. Since many of those come from commands learned from Pronto's then that is fairly useful.

If you are getting commands from a different source, like pdf files from manufacturers, then I think you could create a spreadsheet to reduce the effort. That would be pretty easy for all but the 7000 commands.

Also, just FYI, the version of IRTool that is available here in the JP1 group has been modified to display all the OFA/JP1 info that you would need. However, IIRC it will only translate "raw hex" pronto code (ie, code that starts with "0000"), it doesn't know how to handle the database codes (like the "5000" example you posted).

ok, I've got it. Thank you all!
