System and method for performing transmitter function mapping

A method of operating a moveable barrier operator comprising:

• creating a data structure;
• learning to perform at least one of a plurality of movable barrier operator functions in response to receiving a code from a transmitter regardless of a function previously associated with the code by storing a plurality of codes in the data structure, each in association with at least one of the plurality of moveable barrier operator functions;
• receiving a transmitted code from a transmitter;
• and
• comparing the transmitted code to the individual codes of the plurality of codes stored in the data structure to identify a code from the plurality of codes which matches the transmitted code, and subsequently determining the at least one of the plurality of functions associated with the matching code, and performing the associated at least one function.

A moveable barrier operator system comprising:

• a learning mode actuator for indicating that a user desires to enter a learning mode of an operator;
• a function actuator for selecting at least one of a plurality of functions to be performed at the operator;
• a receiver for receiving a code from a transmitter;
• a memory;
• and
• a controller coupled to the learning mode actuator, the function actuator, the receiver, and the memory, the controller programmed to enter a learning mode when the learning mode actuator is actuated and receive the selection of the at least one of the plurality of functions from the function actuator, the controller receiving the code from the receiver and forming a data structure in the memory that associates the code with the selected at least one of the plurality of functions for performance of the at least one of the plurality of functions regardless of a function previously associated with the code in response to receipt of the code.
