Macros
1
Recall the macro register you want to assign to the
button.
For details of the method of operation, see “Executing
a macro in normal execution mode” (page 130).
2
To set in macro only mode, press the button to which
[Mcro Only Set] is assigned, turning it on.
To set in pre or post macro mode, proceed to step 3.
Note
To set in macro only mode, it is first necessary to
assign the “Macro Only Set” function to the buttons in
the utility control block. Carry out this assignment in
the Setup/Diag >Operation >Utility menu. For details,
see “Utility Settings (Utility Menu)” (page 170).
3
Depending on the macro attachment mode you want to
set, carry out any of the following operations in the
macro control block.
Pre macro: Hold down the [PRE MCRO] button, and
press the desired button.
Post macro: Hold down the [POST MCRO] button,
and press the desired button.
Macro only: Hold down the [PRE MCRO] button or
[POST MCRO] button, and press the desired
button.
The button you pressed flashes, and the register you
recalled in step 1 is assigned to the button. (When you
set in macro only mode, the button to which [Mcro
Only Set] is assigned goes off.)
• Buttons set in pre- or post-macro mode: flash amber
• Buttons set in macro only mode: flash green
To check macro attachment settings
Hold down the [PRE MCRO] button or [POST MCRO]
button. While it is held down, buttons for which macro
attachments are set flash as follows.
While the [PRE MCRO] button is held down:
• Buttons set in pre macro mode: flash amber
• Buttons set in macro only mode: flash green
While the [POST MCRO] button is held down:
• Buttons set in post macro mode: flash amber
• Buttons set in macro only mode: flash green
If you set a macro attachment for an already
macro attached button
It results in either of the following.
When the new setting is made in the same macro
attachment mode as for the old setting: Both old and
new settings are invalid.
When the new setting is made in a different macro
attachment mode from the old setting: The new
setting is valid.
Note
After setting a macro attachment to a cross-point button in
the cross-point control block, if in the Setup menu you
change the function assignment to the button, the macro
attachment setting disappears.
Removing macro attachment settings
Hold down the [PRE MCRO] button or [POST MCRO]
button, and press a button that is flashing. The button for
which the macro attachment is set stops flashing and goes
off, and this removes the setting. (See above.)
Executing a macro by macro attachment
1
Press the [ATTCH ENBL] button, turning it on.
2
Press the desired button for which a macro attachment
has been set.
This recalls the macro register assigned to the button,
and the macro is executed as follows, according to the
operation mode.
Pre macro mode: The macro is executed first, and
then the button function is executed.
Post macro mode: The button function is executed
first, and then the macro is executed.
Macro only mode: The button function is not
executed, and the macro only is executed.
Notes
• It is not possible to execute more than one macro at a
time. Therefore, even if you simultaneously press
multiple buttons for which macro attachments are set,
only one macro is executed.
• During macro execution, recalling the same register
again stops the macro being executed. Therefore,
pressing twice a button for which a macro attachment is
set stops the macro being executed.
• Individual events stored in a macro are executed
according to the settings in setup. If you change the
settings in setup, a saved macro may not have the
expected effect.
