Macros
The SIMATRIX can store four macros t were previously recorded using a
keyboard. The stored macros can be executed by any keyboard in the system that
has been programmed accordingly. Each macro can include up to 60 keyboard
actions, allowing automation of complex special functions.
Commands for camera head drives cannot be used in macros.
The programming software is used to configure whether a key on the keyboard
executes just one macro, or whether all four macros can be called up and executed
using the same key.

Executing a preset macro
Use the scroll bar in the display window to select macro 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The programmed key on the keyboard is always used to execute the selected
macro.

Arbitrarily executing a macro
Leave the scroll bar in the display window in the left-hand position.
Enter the macro number at the keyboard (1, 2, 3 or 4), then press the key that
has been assigned the
Macro

Recording macros ( not with NEO V2)
1.
To start recording
Use the digit keys to enter the number of the macro +100 at the keyboard
(i.e. 101, 102, 103 or 104)
2.
Press the key that has been assigned the
Macro
function.
3.
Now execute the macro, which consists of up to 60 keyboard actions. (The
61st action will break off programming and shut off the macro recorder)
4.
To end macro recording
Enter the macro number used for the recording (i.e. 101, 102, 103 or 104)
5.
Press the key that has been assigned the
Macro
function.
The exact functionality of a macro depends on the key configuration of the keyboard where the macro
was originally recorded.
If the configuration of any of keys used in the macro is changed after initial macro programming, the
functions executed by the macro will also change.
We therefore recommend that macros are only recorded and executed on a dedicated keyboard.
