The Macro Editor Screen (see Figure 46)

MMaaccrroo WWiinnddooww::Displays each step of the macro

programmed into the selected button. Each line

shows one action of the macro sequentially, with

the first action at the top. If a macro has not been

programmed-into the button the MACRO WINDOW

for that button will be empty.

You create macros by dragging commands into

the MACRO WINDOW (see below). You can place a

new command anywhere in the macro sequence,

and you can change the order of existing com-

mands by dragging them into different positions

in the macro sequence.

CCoommmmaanndd TTyyppee DDrroopp--DDoowwnn BBooxx::Use this

drop-down box to access all the different macro

commands that the DAB1 can generate. Command

types include: COMMAND FROMLIBRARY (IR), INTERNAL

COMMAND, STATUS TEST, RS-232 COMMAND, TIMEDELAY, STOP MACRO, REPEAT STEPS and TOGGLE IR CODE. See MACRO COMMAND

TYPES, below, for details.

MMaaccrroo CCoommmmaanndd OOppttiioonnss AArreeaa::Different types of macro commands will have different options for you to select when

building a macro. Those options will appear in this area. (The SET DELAY TIMEoption for the TIMEDELAY command is shown.)

Command From Library (IR Commands)

The DAB1 uses IR commands sent from its COMMON and PROGRAMMED IR outputs (see

, on page 15) to

control other A/V components in the system. The Sonance Control Manager comes with an extensive Master IR code library

consisting of thousands of IR commands for most brands and A/V components that would likely be used in a whole-home

audio system.

For this example we’ll program the STOP button for ZONE 1, SOURCE 2 to control a Kenwood Sovereign DV-5900M DVD

changer, with the PAUSE command on the PRESS level and the STOP command on the PRESS-AND-HOLD level:

1. Open the system and select the DAB1. the Zone Programming Screen (

, on page 35) will appear.

2. Select ZONE 1 and the PRESS button action level.

3. Right-click on the Source 2 STOP button and select CREATE MACRO. (If the button is already programmed with a macro

select EDIT MACRO). The MACRO EDITOR screen will appear.

• If COMMAND FROMLIBRARY does not appear in the COMMAND TYPE window, use the drop-down box to select it.

4. Click on SELECT NEW REMOTE and scroll down the list to the device you want to control.
