Yes, that looks like it is what I'm looking for.

However, I don't already seem to have it on my machine despite the fact
that I do have IrScrutinizer. Perhaps because I'm using the AppImage
version of IrScrutinizer? There are no installation instructions on the
HardHardware page, so I'll need to investigate more to get this working.

Here's what I have: IrScrutinizer-2.3.1-x86_64.AppImage

Thanks, Jan
