Naming Rig Macros
The commands used in rig macros are cryptic, and when you
look at a list of commands in a rig macro, it may not be obvious
what the macro does. To help you remember, SideKar allows
you to name each macro. The name will then be shown in the
message summary screen, including the leading period, so you
can differentiate messages from macros.
To name a macro, simply enter the name as the first characters
followed by a colon “:”. Everything to the left of the colon is the
rig macro name and is not sent to the rig. Everything to the
right of the colon will be sent to the rig as commands. This is
the same as naming Text Messages.
It’s advised to keep the names short, as the space for the
characters used are shared with the characters used for
commands. The longer the name, the less room you will have
for commands.
For more information on macros and a complete list of
commands, please see the Elecraft Programmers Reference
manuals in the Manuals and Downloads section of the Elecraft
website.
Macro Examples: Note the colon. The name is to the left, the
commands are to the right. The period, name and the colon
are not sent to the rig.
