Advanced Macros
Macros can be programmed containing 'null' values which are substituted by input from the operator when the macro is executed. A '0' (zero) is used as part of the macro's program to act as a variable.
Example 1 - "Quick Switch" function
A macro programmed with the keystrokes [4], [MONITOR], [0], [CAMERA]
Operator input: 28 [MACRO KEY]
Effect: camera 28 would be called to monitor 4.
or
Operator input: 34 [MACRO KEY]
Effect: camera 34 would be called to monitor 4.
Example 2 - using currently selected camera or monitor
A macro programmed with the keystrokes [5], [MONITOR], [0], [CAMERA], [0], [MONI- TOR]
Operator input: [MACRO KEY]
Effect: the currently selected camera would be called to monitor 5, and control would be returned to the previous monitor in use.
Example 3 - Alarm "Quick ACK"
A macro programmed with the keystrokes [5], [MONITOR], [ACKNOWLEDGE ALARM], [0], [MONITOR]
Operator input: [MACRO KEY]
Effect: acknowledges the alarm condition on monitor 5, and returns control to the monitor previously in use before the alarm condition.
When a macro function has been programmed, it is held in the keyboard's memory. If the smart card is removed, the macro is lost. Provision is made for storing macros on a smart card and this can be an operator's card, a supervisor's card or the administrator's card.
