Macros

Overview

A macro is a function that is used to store a sequence of
control panel operations (events) as data in memory
(macro register), which you can recall to reproduce the
same sequence of operations as required.
To record menu operations in memory, see

“Menu

Macros” (page 369)

.

Macro registers

The area of memory that holds a macro is termed a “macro
register.” For each control panel, there are 999 macro
registers, numbered 1 to 999.

Events

The individual control panel operations constituting a
macro are termed “events.” One macro can contain a
maximum of 99 events.
The following table shows the operations for each control
block of the control panel that can be saved as events in a
macro.
