After the macro has been selected, use the cursor keys to move the underline cursor underneath the
step number. Select the step that you want to edit using the keyswitches. When a step is selected the
display will show the information that is stored at that step. If you want to change anything at that
step, move the cursor until it is underneath the item you wish to change then use the keyswitches to
enter a new value. Press "Enter" after each new entry. If you continue to press "Enter" the cursor will
move to each item on the step display. If you do not want to change that item, press "Enter" and the
cursor will move on then automatically increment to the next step. If you don't need to edit the next
step keep pressing "Enter" until the cursor returns to the macro number on the top line. To store the
edited macro at the same location press "Enter" again. If you are copying the macro to another
location, select a different macro number before pressing "Enter".
To add more steps to the end of a macro, first load the macro into the edit buffer as explained
above. Move the cursor to the step number on the display and select the step number that is one
higher than the last step in the macro. The cue and hold numbers will be blank for that step. Move
the cursor under "CUE" if you want to change it to "CHS". Press "Enter". The cursor will
automatically move to the next field so that you can enter the cue or chase number and finally the
hold time for the new step. After entering a hold time and pressing "Enter" the display will
automatically increment allowing you to enter more steps to the end of the macro. When you are
finished continue to press "Enter" or use the cursor keys to return the cursor to the macro number.
Press "Enter" again to overwrite the old macro or select a new location then press "Enter".
To delete steps from a macro, load the macro into the edit buffer as explained above. Select the step
number that you want to delete by putting the cursor under the step number in the display and
selecting the desired one. Press "Delete". That step will be deleted from the macro and any steps
above that one will move down to the next lower step number. The display will show that the values
that were at the next step have now moved down to the step that you have just deleted. If the step
you deleted was the last step of the macro, the cue and hold field will go blank showing that there is
now nothing at this step. Finally you must store the edited macro as explained previously.
To insert a macro step into the middle of an existing macro, first load the macro into the edit buffer
as explained. Call the step number where you want to insert the new step by moving the cursor under
the step number in the display and selecting the desired step. Press "Insert". A blank step will be
inserted at this step number and any steps above this one will be moved up one step number. Move
the cursor over to the cue field which will be blank. Select the cue, chase or blackout to insert at this
location then press "Enter". Enter a new hold time and press "Enter". The step number will
automatically increment and you can insert another step by moving the cursor back to the step
number and repeating the previous operation. Finally you must store the edited macro.
To erase an entire macro from memory press "Enter" then "Macro". Select the macro to erase then
press "Delete". The display will read:
ERASE MACRO 01?
+ = YES, - = NO
Press the "+" key to confirm the erase or press "-" to escape.
