Creating a New Complex Macro
Creating a new macro can be done in the Macro Editor (not the Macro
Builder), however it may not be practical. It is recommended that you learn
about Tiers, Groups, and component locations using existing macros first.
To create a new macro:
1. Touch an empty macro register in the Macros, Catalog menu.
2. Touch the Insert New Line button in the Macro Line Edit menu
( Figure 185 ), the Component Edit menu is displayed ( Figure 191 ).
3. Choose the Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 (if necessary) levels by touching those
buttons.
4. Choose the Group, Location, and Component by touching those
buttons.
5. Touch the Edit Value button to set the value for the component.
6. Touch Apply .
7. Touch Save .
Repeat the above steps for each line of the macro.
About Editing Complex Macros
With Macro Editor, you do not have to re-create complex macros that you
want to use for other parts of the switcher. You can copy a macro from one
register to another and then edit the macro lines to fit your needs.
There are two levels of macro editing: editing or organizing macro lines and
editing a macro line itself. When reorganizing macro lines, you use the
macro editing buttons which allow you delete, move, insert lines, etc.
whereas with line editing, you can edit the individual lines; location,
values, etc. for each.
You can edit a macro line by touching the line you wish to edit in the Macro
Line Editing menu and then touching the
Line Edit button.
The Macro Editor displays a component level, hierarchical view of the
selected macro line. In this view you can select a different Tier, Group, Loca-
tion, and/or Component, and then set a new value for the Component (and
apply and save the changes.
The parts of the switcher are organized hierarchically into tiers. Each
selected tier has a number of groups. Each group contains a set of compo-
nents which share the same set of locations. So when editing it is essential
to select a group which contains the locations and components you wish
the macro to act on.
