3.4.4 Macro Variables
FIGURE 3.4.4.1. Local Variables Tab of Program:Macro Variables
The Program:Macro Variables screen is used to view and edit both local and common macro
variables. Local macro variables can be set from macro programs, and are shown in Figure 3.4.4.1
on page 51. The graphic on the left side of the screen indicates the level for the currently dis-
played local variables. This screen updates continuously when macro programs are executed.
Common macro variables are set using the common macro variable tabs, one of which is shown in
Figure 3.4.4.2 on page 52. Common macro variables will keep their values when the machine is
shut off; local macro variables will not.
