You can edit an RS-232 command after it has been dragged into the Macro Window by double-clicking or right-clicking the command string. The Edit RS-232 Command window will open. This allows changes to be made to the individual RS-232 commands without having to delete them and replace them with new commands.

Figure 59 shows the Edit RS-232 Command window open, containing a replacement macro command string. Clicking the Edit RS-232 Command window’s OK button will replace the RS- 232 command string in the Macro Editor window with this new command string.

The Stop Macro command (Figure 60) causes the macro to stop executing at the point where it is inserted. Under normal circumstances the Stop Macro command will not be needed, since macros automatically stop when they are finished. It is intended to be used along with the STATUS TEST command (see page 39) to end a macro if a certain condition is met.

Repeat Steps

The Repeat Steps command (Figure

61) lets you repeat a particu-

lar macro com-

mand either until the button is

released or for a specific number

of times. This can be useful when

controlling com-

ponents that require certain commands be repeated to take

effect, or when issuing commands for buttons like volume controls, that can have continuous action.
