4.1 Edit Macro Definition (Fig. 21)

The Macro tab has a Source pull down menu that displays the six sources defined in their order 1-6. When a non-NuVoNet source is highlighted and selected, three separate definition windows appear on the right side of the screen. The left side of the screen is a representation of the Control Pad display.

When the curser is scrolled over the buttons on the Control Pad, a tool tip appears indicating the function command or commands that have been assigned to that button. Here you can double click on the button which opens the Macro Definition Window. When in Macro Definition, if you choose to, you can reassign new codes. You can also double click on the appropriate function in the window on the right side of the tab and access the Macro Definition window.

If the component had default keys defined in the IR Library, single IR code macros will be automatically created for each key. Hovering the mouse over each key in the Control Pad picture on the left side of the screen will bring up a tool-tip displaying the name of the macro assigned to that key. Clicking on the key highlights the macro on the right side of the screen.

Double-clicking on a key in either display will allow you to change the default assignment or create a new one in the Edit Macro Definitions window, Fig. 21

4.1 Creating a Macro Preset String (Fig. 22)

An important function of the Macro tab is to create a menu of preset choices for third party components, such as satellite, cable and CD changers. When a non-NuVoNet source is selected, a Preset Macro window appears on the right side of the screen with open spaces for storing preset station choices. Up to 250 macros can be defined in this window. When a preset is added to a source, an additional Preset menu item will be added to that source browsing capability on the Control Pads. The preset menu is preceded by the three character source designation established in the Source tab.

To create a preset macro, double click on the first available preset macro selection, Fig. 20. This will open the Edit Macro Definition window. Once in that window you must type a name for the preset in the Display Name window, which will establish the preset name as it will appear in the preset menu. Note that the Display drop down menu directly below the Display Name window defaults to Forever. This is the desired choice for a preset and will keep the preset name on the Control Pad while that selection is currently playing.

The available IR codes for that source will be expanded in green on the left side of the Edit Macro Definition window. As you double click on a code, it will automatically be added to the macro string on the right. Up to 255 codes can be added to a single macro and the codes will fire in the order in which they are added to the string. Once the desired macro string is complete, click done and return to the main macro tab. The completed macro will appear in the Preset Macro window. To create a second preset, double click on the next space and repeat the Macro Definition steps.
