The User Macros Menu
The User Macros Menu
The User Macros menu is used to create new macros and edit existing
macros. Macro 0 is the default macro and always exists. Macros enable you
to define a pattern sequence once, then insert the macro by name wherever
it is needed.
Macros can also have parameters passed to them. Parameters let you create
a generic macro. For each instance of a macro, you specify unique values for
the parameterized variable. Each macro can have up to 10 parameters. Up
to 100 different macros can be defined for use in a single stimulus program.
Differences between User Macros and the INIT and MAIN sequences are that
macros cannot use the If instruction and a macro cannot call another macro.

This section only covers the two unique fields in the User Macros menu and
using parameters. For information about other fields in this menu, refer to
the discussion of these fields in the previous section on the Sequence Menu.
Macro 0 (current macro field)
Touching this field brings up a list of macros that have been created and are
available to insert into the Sequence menu. If you want to edit a previously
built macro or to view it, select that macro from the list and it will appear in
the main part of the display.
