Macros

The term “macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of signal 
selections and other operations on the control panel is saved as data in memory, 
so that it can be recalled as required to automatically execute the same 
sequence of operations.

The area of memory that holds a macro is termed a “macro register.” For each 
control panel there are 99 macro registers, numbered 1 to 99.

The individual control panel operations constituting a macro are termed 
“events.” One macro can contain a maximum of 99 events.
The following table shows the operations for each control block of the control 
panel that can be saved as events in a macro.
