Creating / Editing Macros

A macro is a sequence of BCS (Basic Control Structure) control commands that are executed simultaneously. Up to 50 macros can be created on the Create/Edit Macro page and executed from the Execute Macro page. (A macro can contain up to 63 individual command characters).

Note: If you are not familiar with BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands, see the “BCS Instruction Manual” on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.

APWeb macros are defined, stored, and executed on APWeb (they cannot be executed from other control points, e.g., the control panel). APWeb macros should not be confused with local presets (called macros on some systems) or with global presets. The Octaire does not support local presets.

Global presets are defined for the Octaire from its control panel (or by entering a BCS command in a terminal emulation program) and stored on the Octaire. An APWeb macro can consist of a command that executes a global preset command that was defined elsewhere (see the second example below). Since a global preset replicates a predefined total system state, it should not be included with other commands.

A macro BCS command (not case sensitive) is one or a series (shown in the first example below) of complete BCS commands. Do not enter a space between the “T” ending one command and the start of the next command.

Examples

BCS Command	Action

CL0I2O7TCL0I5O21 23 24T	Creates a macro that switches Input 2 to Output 7 and Input 5 to
	Outputs 21, 23, and 24 on Level 0
R7T	Creates a macro to execute global preset 7 (defined on control panel)

FIG. 39 Create / Edit Macro page

We recommend writing down the BCS command(s) used for each macro, as the contents of a macro cannot be retrieved after it is created. We also suggest making the names of the macros very descriptive (so the user can easily determine what the macro switches) and/or providing the user with a list of macro names with descriptions of each macro’s contents.
