Help for Macro Editing Screen
Use this screen to review and edit controller macros and commands used to
execute those macros.
Depending upon the screen size on the computer running this configuration program, either 10 or 20 macros will be visible at once. The view presented can be of either the macros as loaded in the controller, or of a set of macros that are loaded into this configuration program. This program only allow for directly editing the configuration program macro values. The controller view shows the contents of the macros as read from the controller. Because reading the macro contents from the controller takes a significant length of time, this is not done automatically on entering the macro edit screen. Hit the "Read" button to read the values from the controller and subsequently display them on the screen. The viewpoint may be selected between the controller and configurator program macro contents by using the buttons at the top of the macro edit window.
Buttons
- Contr View

- Help
- Gets you to this help screen

- Send
- Writes the current configurator macro contents to the controller, then reads
the values back and pdates the configurator view
- Copy
- Transfers the macro contents from the controller view to the configurator view.
This is useful to get started editing based on the values that are already in
the controller. It does NOT read the values from the controller, so that must
be done first for this command to be useful.
