Creating an Serial SAM macro

To create a macro:
1. Select the Serial SAM you wish to configure and press
Ctrl-F8
to activate the
Configuration Screen.
2. When the Configuration Screen appears, press Page Down to view the Macro Configura-
tion screen. The Macro Configuration screen shows the 10 available macros and the
associated key sequences, if any, for each.
3. Using the
Up Arrow
and
Down Arrow
keys, scroll to an available macro number
and highlight the listed keystroke sequence. Type the new macro keystroke sequence
over the default. Any combination of
Ctrl

Alt
and a single key may be used. When
you have finished entering the keystroke sequence that will activate the new macro,
press the
Down Arrow key.

sequence that you wish the macro to perform.

Using History mode
History mode allows you to examine the contents of the history buffer, which contains the
events that have occurred.
The Serial SAM maintains a buffer containing 240 lines minimum, or 10 screens, of
output. When the history buffer is full, it will add new lines at the bottom of the buffer and
delete the oldest lines at the top of the buffer.
NOTE:
The Config Key Sequence, On-Line Key Sequence and Clear History Key Sequence used in the following
procedure are the default values. These key combinations can be changed using the Configuration
Screen.
