Macro File Editing Rules; Macro File Syntax - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

N: SET PANEL TABLE (for Router mode)
The source is set to IN001 and following, and destination
is set to OUT001 and following. However, since the unit
does not operate in router mode, these settings are not
used.

router cannot be connected in cascade, no route setting is
required, and this is not set.

Set the source and destination ranges so that the MVS-
8000X/7000X inputs and outputs can be selected.

Macro File Editing Rules

Macro File Editing Rules
When editing a macro file, follow the rules described
below.

Macro File Syntax

The macro file syntax is as follows.
File format
The file is in CSV (comma-separated value) format.
Newline code
CR (ASCII code 0D), LF (ASCII code 0A), or CRLF may
be used.
Statement syntax
There are four types of statement, each terminated by a
newline code.
File header: This must always appear as the first line of
the file. It comprises 28 characters, as follows.
Example: PNL (space)
0001PNL_rrrr.PMRnnnnnnnn
rrrr: macro register number (0001 to 0099)
nnnnnnnn: In a file created on the switcher, this is a
register name automatically set by the switcher.
When creating a new file, it is recommended to set this
to be the same as the file name (see page 261).
The name is limited to eight characters.
The following characters may not be used.
space, \, /, :, ;, , (comma), . (period), <, >, *, ?, ", |
Comment: Begins with "#". The content of the line
following the "#" up to the next newline has no effect
on macro execution, and can be used as a comment.
Notes
You can only use comments in files saved to the hard
disk or a memory card. When you load a macro file
into a register, the comments are discarded.
Event statement: Begins with "Event?", and defines the
macro event.
For details, see next item, "Syntax of Event and
Continue Statements."
Continue statement: Begins with "Continue?", and
defines the macro event.
For details, see next item, "Syntax of Event and
Continue Statements."
Some events cannot be used (see page 262).
