Timed Delays can be placed in a sequence. This is desired in macros where a
delay
is needed between
two commands to allow for a unit to respond completely to the previous command (i.e. After a POWER ON
command is given a Delay is usually necessary before the next command will be recognized or when
entering multiple digit channel commands to a CBL or SAT box).
1. Click the left
<
and right
>
arrows under “DELAY” in the Macro Command List window for the number of
seconds you want up to 30 seconds (i.e. 2 = 2 seconds) or simply highlight the number in the Delay
window and enter the number using the keyboard.
2. Double-click the word “DELAY” or if entering from the keyboard simply hit ENTER on the keyboard.
This will place the delay at the end of the Command List and the delay time appears on the list (e.g.,
Delay 2 Sec).
3. Left Click and Drag the “Delay 2 Sec” line and drop it between any two commands you have placed on
the Command List.
NOTE:
As you drag a command upward in the list and you want the command between two existing
commands, drop it on the lower one. As you drag downward, drop it on the upper one.

Commands can be repeated to extend the amount of time the command is being issued. This is sometimes
necessary for STOP commands or any commands that seem to be intermittent with a short button press.
1. To repeat an IR command for any reason, just use the arrows to set the number of times to repeat a
code.
2. Double
Click
in the word “REPEAT”. This will place a “cycle” symbol and the words “Repeat 3 Times” (if
3 is selected) at the bottom of the Macro Command List.
3. Left Click on the “Repeat 3 Times” line and drag it directly ahead of the code to be repeated.
EDITING COMMANDS (IN THE MACRO COMMAND LIST WINDOW)
Right-clicking on a command placed in the Macro Command List window will bring up a pop-up menu allowing
an individual command to be deleted, routed to a specific Zone emitter output or to a Source emitter output (see
Figure 27
above). Each of the functions available are described below.

Highlighting a single command in the Macro Command List and

Commands placed under buttons in the Virtual Keypad window may be tested prior to downloading to the
SPLCD Display. To test commands, the Dragon PC must be connected to the front panel COM PORT or USB
Port and emitters must be placed in the proper IR Emitter output ports of the Connecting Block.
1. Select the appropriate GTL button in the SmartPAD LCD™ Systems window with the IR codes placed
under it to test. (i.e. The PLAY button:). The button should now appear selected.
2. Click on the TEST button located in the upper-middle of the SPLCD Macro Command List window.
Commands listed under the Macro Command List for that selected Command should now be executed
in order of appearance out of the proper Ports on the connecting block connected to the IR output of the
SPLCD Display.
