External Macros

Macros are generated within the Macros sub-panel on the Control panel. Once a macro has been built

it can either be saved with a unique macro name to be run within the Macros sub-panel, or saved as an

external macro and be associated with one of the External Macro buttons.

A macro is saved as an External Macro by saving it in the . /macros/ subdirectory using the name

‘m1.mac’, ‘m2.mac’, etc. Depending on the selected name the macro will be associated with the corre-

sponding External Macro button M1, M2, etc.

• M1 = . /macros/m1.mac

• M2 = . /macros/m2.mac

•etc.

External Macro buttons can be re-named on the panel by right clicking on them. The button name will-

change, but the macro associated with that button is always saved as ‘m1.mac’, ‘m2.mac’, etc., in the

./macros/ subdirectory. The External Macro button names are stored in the file ‘Mnames.txt’, also in the

./macros/ subdirectory.

External Macros allow up to eight macros to be accessed quickly without having to load them into the Mac-

ros sub-panel on the Control panel. These External Macros operate independently of the Macros sub-

panel and are not affected by operations within it, except when a macro is saved to the ./macros/ subdi-

rectory to replace a currently existing External Macro.
