Creating and Editing Macros
A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands when tapping
one single
button
. You can for instance switch on your TV, turn on a movie channel and
prepare your VCR for recording by rewinding the videotape. The macro contains an
action list
. The action list can be created and edited in the Macro Tool.
Note
Once you have programmed a macro, the button actions will not be changed when
you select another brand in the Brand Tool.
In the Macro Tool you first have to select the button that will contain the macro,
also called the
target button
. Then, one by one, you create an action list by
adding actions to this target button. You can do this by:
■
Selecting another button and
adding its actions
to the action list of your
target button.
■
Adding a
delay
to the action list.
■
Adding a
beep
to the action list.
After creating the macro, all actions you added to the action list are executed
when you tap the button.
