Recording Multiple Operations to Automatically Execute (Macros)
This feature lets you record multiple operations and then automatically execute them (as a macro function). You only need to record the macro
operation beforehand and then select the macro to perform the series of operations you recorded. This function is useful for executing exactly the
same operations, even when a different operator is using the unit.
You can create up to 100 macros.
Recording a Macro
A single macro can contain up to 10 different operations. You can include a macro within another macro, to make a single macro execute a more
complicated set of functions.
* The demo macro data in this unit that’s available by factory default includes some recorded operations.
