MACROQ
-- Execute Macro Quietly
This command executes the macro corresponding to the specified number. The macro must have
been previously defined and stored in non-volatile memory via the
MACROS
,
MACROA
, and
MACROW
commands. If the specified macro is empty, then an error condition of
ERROR#070
will be generated.
When the
MACROQ
command executes, status messages for all of the commands in the macro will not
be generated. The
MACROQ
is provided so that a control system can execute a macro and not
generate heavy data traffic from the resulting status messages. Of course, this assumes that the
control system is not interested in any of the acknowledgements. The
MACROX
command can be used
to execute the macro without suppressing status messages.

MACROS
-- Start a New Macro
This command is used to start writing a new macro with a specified macro number. This command is
used in conjunction with the
MACROA
and
MACROW
commands to create a new macro. If this
command is sent while another macro is in the process of being written (before the
MACROW
command is sent), then the macro in progress will be deleted and the new one will be started.
See the description of the
MACROA
command for detailed information on creating macros.

MACROW
-- Write Macro to Non-Volatile Memory
This command writes the macro that is currently being defined to non-volatile memory. This
command is used in conjunction with
MACROA
and
MACROS
to create a new macro. If this command
is sent when no macro is in progress (i.e., if a
MACROS
command has not been sent) or if the macro
number sent with this command does not match the number of the macro in progress, then an error
will be returned.
See the description of the
MACROA
command for detailed information on creating macros.
This command is saved to global non-volatile memory and is not part of a preset. Its value is saved
each time it is changed. It will retain its value after power-down. Since this command writes to non-
volatile memory, there will be a delay before an acknowledgment is returned.
