MLC 52 Series MediaLink Controller • Serial Communication

In the upper-right corner of the screen is the Macro... button. Clicking this button
displays the MediaLink Macro Configuration window, which lets you link an
MLC button with another button, so that pressing the first button once executes
its commands, then those of the button to which it is linked.
Linking buttons via the MediaLink Macro Configuration tab is not the same
as placing the button in macro mode so that all the commands on that one
button are executed when you press it once. See
Setting up button macros
using macro mode
and
Linking buttons to create macros, in this
chapter,
for information on creating the two types of macros.
The following sections describe the tasks you can perform on the Controller
(MLC) Config. tab to configure the MLC 52 buttons.
Saving and restoring the configuration
Before downloading drivers or programming buttons, you may want to save the
MLC 52’s current configuration in case you want to restore those settings in the
future.

name.)
