Notes
• Multi mode (see page 348) is disabled if a macro register
is recalled using the numeric keypad control block. Only
one macro can be executed at a time.
• If the same macro is recalled during macro execution or
when the macro is paused, the following operation
depends on a setting in the Setup menu.
For details, see "Setting the Macro Operation Mode"
(page 433).
• Events registered in a macro are executed according to
the setup and the device configuration in force when the
events were registered. If the state has changed since
registration, the contents of the macro may not be
reproduced correctly when the macro is recalled.
• During macro execution, if you switch the control panel
to macro editing mode, the macro currently being
executed stops.
• It is not possible to execute a macro during macro
editing.
• While executing a macro, the operation performed if
another macro is recalled from the numeric keypad
control block depends on a setting in the Setup menu.
For details, see "Setting the Macro Operation Mode"
(page 433).
