Double-clicking the macro in RPvdsEx displays the macro properties and allows users 

to easily configure the macro. Additional information on using the macro is available 

in the macro properties dialog box.
This macro is not required for preamplifier operation but is recommended if the user 

requires more control over the amplifier power/up or power/down status or front 

panel LEDs. See the relevant sections below for more information about these 

features.
