Most of the apparatus we build are highly configurable and we have build a new IR datalink USB standalone and a Windows program to do this job. This new IR datalink USB standalone is a stand alone unit and holds up to 50 apparatus in it 32Kb eeprom memory.

The mounted IR datalink USB standalone pcb controlled by a 18F2553 PIC, the apparatus codes are saved in the 24LC256 eeprom (32Kb or 50 apparatus). The IR datalink USB uses approx. 60 mA during standby and a bit more during IR transmission, this will give you a battery life of 8-8,5 hours.
