Zero 88 FLX Series, Manual

Page: 153 / 233

You may find that some parameter details of your fixtures, are simply
labelled "Macros". For example there are multiple details of the
"Control" parameter in this image simply named "Macros".
This means that macros can be used to control that parameter, rather
than using the parameter manually.
If your fixture has a "Lamp On" macro, and you use this to lamp on multiple fixtures, ZerOS will automatically
strike your lamps one by one in the order of selection. This avoids striking all lamps at the same time, which could
lead to overcurrent.
User Macros
Custom user Macros can be programmed, to record sequences of button presses or commands. Macros can then be
recalled and played back via various methods.
FLX can store up to 240 macros (Fixture Macros and User Macros combined).
Recording Macros
To start recording your own sequence of button presses or commands as a macro, you can first choose the macro
number you wish this macro to be recorded to. You can use either of the following methods:
Record Macro 1 5 Enter
Record Macro 15
Record Macro tap an empty macro tile marked with an asterisk in the macros window.
Record Macro
If the Macro window is already displayed, you can simply tap Record , and then the empty macro tile you wish to
record to.
After doing this, you will receive the following message, allowing you to
record either "Keys" or "Commands":
Keys, will record any physical button presses you make on the
console, WINGs, or USB keyboards.
Commands, will simply record the text being typed into the
command-line.
Therefore if you are simply recording a string of syntax, both Keys and
Commands would record the same information.
