ing power so we've named the variable "Audio is ON". This state can either be True or False, so
the label is very descriptive.
Now, click on the Add button. You could add as many variables as
needed. When you are finished, click on OK.
7 Now, you complete the IF setting by choosing True or False
using the list box.
8 Now you are using dragging or copy(ctrl +c) and paste(ctrl + v) to create the steps you need in both
the IF branch and the ELSE branch.
When the Smart Macro runs, it will check the state of the variable and only run one branch, either the IF or
the ELSE branch of the macro. Each branch can have as many steps as you need.
Try sounding out the sentence "If Audio is On is True do this: ELSE if Audio is ON is False do this:" Makes
sense. You'd put the Inputs alone in the IF branch and all the power commands, the delay and the inputs in the
ELSE branch.
What if you said "If Audio is ON is False do this: ELSE if Audio is ON is True do this." That also makes sense,
but you'd now put the power commands, the delay and the inputs in the IF and the inputs alone in the ELSE
statement .
The key is to understand the difference in the logic when you actually program the steps in the IF branch and
the ELSE branch. So sound it out and if it sounds illogical to you, go back to Step 7 and reset the variable state.
It needs to make sense to you, the programmer!
