Macros

Overview

The term "macro" refers to the function whereby a
sequence of signal selections and other operations on the
control panel is saved as data in memory, so that it can be
recalled as required to automatically execute the same
sequence of operations.
To record menu operations in memory, use a menu macro
(see page 117).
Macro registers
The area of memory that holds a macro is termed a "macro
register." For each control panel there are 250 macro
registers, numbered 1 to 250.
Events
The individual control panel operations constituting a
macro are termed "events." One macro can contain a
maximum of 99 events.
The following table shows the operations for each control
block of the control panel that can be saved as events in a
macro.
