Recalling a Macro Register and
Executing a Macro
To carry out a macro operation, recall a macro register.
Recalling an empty register allows you to carry out macro
editing operations. Recalling a register holding a macro
executes the macro immediately.
To recall a macro register, use the following procedure.
1
In the numeric keypad control block, press the
[MCRO] button, turning it on.
This assigns the numeric keypad control block to
macro operations, and the [RCALL] button lights.
2
Enter the number of the register (1 to 250) to be
recalled with the numeric keypad buttons.
To search for an empty register, instead of entering a
number, press the [.] (period) button.
The display shows the corresponding register number.
A letter "E" after the number indicates that the
corresponding register is empty.
3
Press the [ENTER] button.
When you recall an empty register
This assigns the numeric keypad control block and
keyframe control block to macro editing.
For details of macro editing, see "Creating and Editing a
Macro" (see below).
When you recall a register holding a macro
This immediately executes the macro. While the macro is
executed, the [RCALL] button flashes.
Notes
• It is not possible to execute more than one macro at a
time.
