mode2, smode2, xmode2

shows the pulse/space length of infrared signals

mode2 [options]

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.

mode2 will simply print pulse&space lengths to stdout.
