NAME

       mode2, smode2, xmode2 - shows the pulse/space length of infrared signals

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 debugging. 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 representation. 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 pre-
       sentation is much more exciting than the simple pulse&space output showed by mode2.
