You can add extra button sequences to an existing macro or you can join two existing macros together.
To add to a macro using the panel

2. Release the button.
The button flashes slowly, indicating that the RCP-ME is now ready to record a macro.
3. Hold the Macro #x button again.
The selected macro is played back internally and is then ready to receive the additional button sequences.
4. Do one of the following:
• To add an extra button sequence, press the required buttons to add to the macro in the correct sequence until
your task is completed.
• To add an existing macro, press the button for the macro you want to add.
Each button acknowledges that it has been pressed by flashing briefly.
5. Press the Macro #x button again to end the recording process.
The existing macro is overwritten with the new macro.
