*DMC
'<MacroLabel>', <MacroSequence>
Creates a macro, defined by an identifier string '<MacroLabel>' and the macro contents
<MacroSequence>. If the macro label exists already, the macro contents are overwritten.
Macro execution must be enabled using
*EMC ON
. Macros are deleted when a remote
connection is closed but can be saved to a macro file (
) for later
re-use.
Note:
Avoid using macro labels which are identical with any of the remote control com-
mands supported by the R&S CMW500. In contrast to SCPI stipulations, remote com-
mands have priority over macros.
Parameters:
'<MacroLabel>'
String parameter, used to execute the created macro and to ref-
erence it in other macro commands (e.g.
*GMC?
,
*RMC
).
<MacroSequence>
Block data element defining the macro contents, typically a
sequence of remote control commands. #0 introduces a data block
of indefinite length. See
chapter 6.7.1, "Macro Contents and
