DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM
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 62
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.
Stop Macro
The STOP MACRO command (
Figure 63
) 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 42) 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.
