Figure 3-41: Macro Editor
The Macro Editor can hold macro definitions for 999 macros in the workstation. The macro editor lists defined
macros in the Macro table on the left. Items assigned to each macro are displayed in the Assigned Commands
table on the right. Item parameters are entered and edited in the Edit Commands area below.
Defining A Command Button
The Command Button Configuration form allows you to assign
different workstation and device related commands to a labelled
button in the Toolbar/Operator area. Up to eight buttons can be
assigned. The method for assigning command buttons and options
available on the Command Button Configuration form are the
same as those for function key assignment. The command button
definition menu is accessible in Tools, Command Button Editor.
Function Key Help Bar
The Key Help Bar displays the text entered in the Help Text field of the Function Key form. This is used as a quick
reference as to the definition of the function keys. This can be called up by a defined function key, using the
Toggle Function Key Help Bar
action, or by pressing
CTRL H
on the keyboard.

NOTES: Function key and command button definitions are local to each workstation (they are not
shared).
Only one workstation can edit macros at one time. Macro Editor must use edit mode because it modifies
screen.mdb.
3.5.4 Using Macro Editor
The Macro Editor is used to define macro functions. In the workstation, Macros define custom commands for
communication with particular devices on the network. Macros can be defined to execute a variety of different
commands (depending on device type) to one or more specified devices. Furthermore, Macros can be linked to
either function keys or command buttons on the screen display.
The Macro Editor can be accessed using Tools, Macro Editor. It can also be accessed with the
Edit Macro
Definitions
button in the Function Key Configuration form or the Command Button Configuration
form.
