Automated Channel Check
[At] [0][0] [+] [Full] [Macro Wait - 5 seconds] [M#]
In this macro, each channel is brought to full for 5 seconds, then the macro repeats itself,
bringing up the next channel. [M#] is the macro’s own number.
Delayed Automated Channel Check
Macro 1: [Macro Wait - 1 minute] [M2]
Macro 2: [At] [0][0] [+] [Full] [Macro Wait - 5 seconds] [M2]
Sometimes you are responsible for doing the channel check and running the console. If you
need to have the automated channel check run, but you also need time to get from the
console to the stage, you can use these two macros to accomplish this task.
