Command Macro Priority
Command Macros have 3 different levels of priorities - low, medium and high.

High - Once a Command Macro starts, nothing will stop it

Medium - If a Command Macro contains any speech functions, that speech will be controlled by the Speech Override and
Speech ID Override settings. This is the default priority level of all Command Macros.

Low - Any COS activity on the last active Port will stop that Command Macro and exit.
Priorities are particularly useful for controlling Command Macros that contain speech. For example, you recorded a DVR track with
an informational message, such as "This Repeater Requires a Tone Frequency of 100 Hertz", which plays immediately following
an ID. Some users might take great delight in kerchunking in the middle of the informational message, stopping it because you
have Speech Override turned on. By assigning this Macro a high priority, it will always play uninterrupted.
You assign a Command Macro a priority level by including one of the following function numbers within that macro, as the first one
entered.
228 High Priority
229 Low Priority
Example: Command Macro 12 will play DVR Track 1 and then play an ID on Port 1, as High Priority:
*4002 12 228 162 126 181
After a Command Macro runs, its priority level is automatically reset to Medium.
Startup Macro
Macro 1 is a special case in that it is run every time the controller is powered up or otherwise resets. This allows you to define a known
startup state of your RC210. You may include any Function within Macro 1, including calling other macros.
Macro Subset (Guest Macros)
Programming a Macro Subset allows for selectively controlling access to only those Command Macros. This Subset is a range of
Command Macros that you define
*4009xxyy where xx is the 2 digit starting Command Macro number and yy is the 2 digit ending Command Macro number.
Examples:
*4009 05 10
Define Subset range from Command Macro 5 to 10
*4009 23 52 Define Subset range from Command Macro 23 to 52
* 4009 66 68 Define Subset range from Command Macro 66 to 68
Even though you may have a Subset defined, it is not actually in effect until it is specifically enabled. This is done either by unlocking a
Port and using the following codes:
2800 Disable Macro Subset
2801 Enable Macro Subset
Or alternately, you may use the appropriate Macro Function to enable and disable as needed (see Macro Function List for the Function
Numbers).
