USB IR Toy: Perl scripts for signal analysis
From DP
Anton contributed these Perl scripts for decoding and visualizing infrared signals captured by the IR Toy. These scripts use the USB IR Toy IR Sampling mode, so a fairly recent version of the USB IR Toy firmware is required -- at least v07.

PANASONIC EUR648251 decoder

- Decodes PANASONIC EUR648251 (details)
The protocol is similar to NEC but with different timings and 6 data bytes encoded.
According to this lirc file the decoder is working (pre_data is the same and the codes are correct too).

Only last 2 bytes are different so maybe the first four are device descriptors and/or addresses?
ir2PNG
- Forum post
- Create a PNG image from an IR Toy capture
- Pass a dumped bin to this script
- Requires GD::Image perl module
IR Toy recorder
The script uses function that is fixed in v.10beta+ grab it from here
- Forum post
- Perl script for recording data from IRToy
- Currently it is working with Win32::SerialPort or Device::SerialPort (autodetected).
- Change COM4 to other COM port if needed
- Save USBIRToy.pm and irtoy_record.pl in same folder.
- There is a 'secret' function to dump (to stdout) the received bytes and the calculated time. To enable this function just create an empty file with name 'irtoy.dump' in the folder where the script is running.

IR Scope converter script
rct contributed a perl script to convert captured USB IR Toy .bin files into .ict files that can be read into IRscope (a windows utility) for display and analysis of captured IR signals. IRscope is a windows only utility by Kevin Timmerman and Graham Dixon. The source code is available under the GPL. IRScope can be very help for analyzing the structure of captured IR signals. Additionally IRscope can import and export several IR code formats.
Here's the code and some screen shots. One is a Sony CD Stop and the other set of Panasonic codes are the test.bin that Anton posted recently.
