226 Chapter 18 Macros

Creating macros

There are two ways to create a macro. You can create it in Macro Editing

mode, entering and editing keystrokes without actually executing the

instructions, or you can use the console’s macro Learn mode to record a

sequence of keystrokes as you perform the operation.

You can include any key or button on the console except [Enter Macro] in

a macro.

You cannot enter slider settings or wheel movements. Each

macro can contain up to 50 keystrokes. You can also link macros.

Caution: The console does not check the sequence of keystrokes to

confirm that it will work. It is possible to create macros that don’t work.

When you run the macro, you will receive whatever error messages are

appropriate.

To avoid problems, you should plan your macro before you start recording

it by determining exactly what keystrokes you want to include. You might

want to do this by running through the task and writing down each

keystroke.

Using Learn

The Learn function allows you to create a macro by performing an actual

sequence of keystrokes. The console records the keystrokes as you make

them. The recorded keystroke sequence can then be played by pressing

the appropriate macro key. Once you record a macro in Learn mode you

can edit the sequence in Macro Editing mode to adjust its operation. Learn

works in any display mode except the Macro Editing display and the

Designer’s Worksheet Editing display.

To create a sample macro using Learn, follow these steps:
