Chapter 5 - Creating and Using Macros

Introduction to Macros

A macro is simply a series of commands. The MACRO feature enables you to initiate a sequence of up to 60 commands with a single button. You can create a macro on any control button and also insert time delays into the sequence. Remember, however, assigning a macro eliminates the button's original function.

You cannot assign a macro to any of the 8 Device keys, the Page/Date key, the Backlight/ Sleep key, the three functions keys (SETUP, DELETE, MACRO), or the five Channel Classification keys.
