3.1 Introduction
Our workstations are equipped with programmable function keys
(macro keys) that greatly enhance the operator interface. Macros,
far more powerful than batch files, automate the most commonly
used input sequences. They extended their functional reach to
within application programs.
3.2 Macro Components
The following article explains how to use and program the
function keys. The complete macro function consists of the
following elements:
Macro keys
Ten programmable macro keys that are located under the monitor
screen of your workstation.
Macro EEPROM
Holds the key sequences that are activated when the corresponding
macro key is pushed.
Macro programming utility
Locate the program SFED843.COM in the Function Key Utility
diskette for function key programming. The SFED software
provides an edit function to produce an ASCII file that contains
keystroke sequences for every macro key. After you have finished
editing the file, the program will ask you whether you want to save
the macro script and/or transmit it to the
EEPROM. Macros consist of keystroke sequences to automate the
most common procedures in your application. The way they
function is much like batch files (.BAT) under DOS, but there are
