Portable electronic data acquisition and transmission system
First Claim
1. An electronic data acquisition and transmission system for processing transmitter identification codes used with a universal barrier operator, the system comprising:
- a monitor controller configured to receive and store transmitter identification codes, wherein selected said transmitter identification codes enable operation of selected barrier operators, and wherein all said transmitter identification codes enable operation of the universal barrier operator; and
an input interface coupled to said monitor controller, said input interface providing functional options to process said transmitter identification codes.

Abstract
A portable electronic data acquisition and transmission system for use with a plurality of wireless transmitters and universal operators used with selected residential barrier operators includes a data monitor having a monitor controller connected to a monitor receiver, a display, a monitor memory unit, a monitor communications port, and an input interface. The data monitor is able to learn and store a plurality of transmitter identification codes associated with one or more wireless transmitters. Once the identification codes are stored in the data monitor, the identification codes can be manipulated and transferred to one or more universal operators, thus enabling the specific transmitters having the associated identification codes to control the universal operator.
