Creating Local Presets To Execute As Macros - AMX Precis Installation & Operation Manual

Creating Local Presets to Execute as Macros

A local preset is a predetermined set of switches (on the same level) that
always route simultaneously. Local presets are defined in X
and are executed on the Precis Remote by placing the Remote Panel in
Macro mode and using the Source and Destination keys.
The number of macros a Remote Panel can execute, as well as which
keys are used to execute them, depends on the system. For more
information on executing local presets (macros) and macro-to-key
correspondence, see pages 3-4 and 3-5.
Although each Precis Remote has a maximum number of macros that can
be executed using the Precis Remote, your system may be able to
execute more macros by entering BCS commands. See the system's
documentation or visit the AutoPatch web site (www.autopatch.com)
for more information on BCS commands and external serial control.
The Preset number (located at the top-center of the Modify Preset dialog
box, see page 6-6) corresponds to the Macro key used to execute the
preset.
The following example creates Preset #1 (ConfRm1) that connects
Source 1 to Destination 4 and Source 2 to Destinations 2 and 3 on
Level 0. This preset is executed on the Precis Remote by using Macro
key 1 (Source key 1).
To add preset (macro) information to the configuration file:
1. Follow the steps for launching X
opening a configuration file (see page 6-3).
2. In the Virtual Matrices tab view, right click the Level 0 (first) virtual
matrix icon and select Manage Local Presets.
The Manage Local Presets dialog box appears.
3. Click the Name New button.
The Name New Preset dialog box appears.
