Using Macros
The Video Viewer macro function allows you to:
•
Send multiple keystrokes to a device, including keystrokes that you cannot generate without
affecting your local system, such as
Control-Alt-Delete
.
• Send a macro from a predefined macro group. Macro groups for Windows and Sun are
already defined.
• Create, edit and delete your own macros. When you create or edit a macro, you may type the
desired keystrokes or you may select from among several available categories of keystrokes.
Each category contains a set of keystroke combinations. Selecting from the available catego-
ries and keystrokes saves time and eliminates the risk of typographical errors.
• Create, edit and delete your own macro groups. You may also modify the predefined
macro groups.
• Change the macro group that displays by default. This causes the macros in the specified group
to be available in that menu.
Macro group settings are device-specific; that is, they may be set differently for each device.
