This dialog is included in the wizard only if you selected the Use Macro for Menu Navigation 

and Device Routing check box in the Device Configuration dialog (Device Data tab). 

A macro is a series of commands that are triggered by a single button on the touch panel, in this 

case the Main menu buttons. By activating this option, you are placing a Navigation and Routing 

Macro for that device onto the Navigation and Routing Macros dialog that then be edited.

These macros cannot be deleted, however, they can be set for zero steps. If the macro has zero 

steps, the button will not be available on the touch panel. Note that System Macros cannot be set to 

zero steps

Adding navigation and routing macros on the Main menu buttons allows a user to set default 

actions when a Main menu item is selected.

 

For example, when selecting "DVD" from the main menu, in addition to performing a 

switch, a user may want lights to dim, window coverings to close, a projection screen to 

come down, and a display device to switch to a specific input. Using navigation and 

routing macros to accomplish these actions helps to create a system that more closely fits 

the needs of the end user, as well as showcasing the power and ease of use of their control 

system.

 

The Macros dialog lists up to 32 macros, with up to 50 steps in each macro.

 

The Macros table lists all macros currently in the Project.

 

These Macros should have been previously created within the Device Configuration - 

Device Data tab by selecting the Use Macro for Menu Navigation and Device Routing 

radio button for a selected Source Type (if available).
