Once your custom control buttons have been programmed, be sure to properly name them. Refer to
the section “
Naming Custom Controls ” in the Synergy Series Installation Guide for more
information on naming custom control buttons.
To play back your macro, exit the Custom Controls Menu and press the custom control button on the
control panel that you recorded the custom control macro to. Any recorded custom control can be
edited. Refer to the section “
Editing Custom Control Macros ” on page 9–20 for details.
Custom Control Holds
Use the Custom Control Hold feature to place “holds” within a custom control sequence. When
entered, these holds specify a point to stop and wait for a user button-press (of the same custom
control) or an external trigger (Editor or GPI). The macro then executes from that point until it reaches
its end or another embedded hold.
A Custom Control Hold ( Hold CC ) allows the user to manually determine in real time, how long a
macro is stopped. For example, a macro is initiated by the operator and when it reaches the Hold CC ,
it stops playing. The operator then waits until the interview (or whatever) is finished, presses the
macro button again, and the macro resumes playing.
Use the following procedure to place a Hold CC within a custom control sequence:
1. Navigate to the Custom Controls Menu as follows:
• Press HOME B Custom Controls .
