CONTROL CONSOLE USER MANUAL 255
MACROS
Overview
A macro is a series of console events (e.g. button presses, display selections, windows opening) that have been
recorded and stored by number. The sequence entered during a macro record operation will automatically be played
back when the macro is recalled. Playback can be initiated by manual selection of the associated macro number or
automated via cue sheet link instructions. Macros can speed up programming by providing a way to easily execute
repetitive or complicated commands, or be used to automate playback sequences.
The time between events is always recorded and stored within the macro. The macro can be played back using this
timing information or played back without so that events execute immediately "one after the other" instead of in real
time. (The Timing feature can be turned on and off at the Macros window.)
Macros are stored in the Macro banks and can be accessed on any of the palettes. The screen capture below shows
an example of the Macro Palette:
Note: Macros are limited to a maximum of 200 events.
Recording Macros
Using Record Button
The quickest method for recording macros utilizes the palette and command-line keypad [Store] button.
When the [Macro Record] toggle button is pressed, the button will flash indicating that the recording function is
enabled. Pressing a second time will disable the record function in the event you need to abort the action.
