Navigation and Routing Macros Dialog

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. You have access to the Navigation and Routing Macros page if you
selected the "Use Macro for Menu Navigation and Device Routing" check box on the Device
Configuration page. By choosing to activate this radio button option, you are placing a Navigation
and Routing Macro for that device onto the Navigation and Routing Macros dialog that can later be
edited.
On this page, two macros will always be visible. They are System Startup and
System Shutdown. These macros can be populated with the sequence of events
desired when (a user) enters the room and when the room is done being used. For
example, turn Off the projector, raise the screen, hit "stop" on all devices with
transport controls (DVD, VCR, CD, etc.), add a delay of 30 seconds (to allow people
time to exit the room), and then turn the lights Off.
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.
Adding navigation and routing macros on the Main menu buttons allows you to set default actions
when a Main menu item is selected.
DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer's Guide
Use the up/down arrow buttons to change the order in which the Relay Control Definition
buttons will occur on the touch panel.
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 (FIG. 21) lists up to 32 macros, with up to 50 steps in each macro.
The Macros table lists all macros currently in the Project.
