To display the parameter routings of a macro, highlight the parameter, right mouse
click, and select Show Routings (alternatively depress F2). The "Parameter
Routings for" dialog box appears, example is shown after this paragraph.
Example of "Parameter Routings for" Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to determine how signals are routed through a macro. Use the
Goto button to locate signal routing for a selected signal. By default, SIMPL
Windows responds by opening the Logic folder in Program View and displaying the
location. If the Always open symbol in Detail View check box is checked, SIMPL
Windows goes one step further and opens the selected symbol (with highlighted
sugnal) in Detail View.

Crestron Macros

Crestron Macros are prepackaged logic programs. A Crestron macro is a set of pre-
written and debugged logic used for controlling a particular device or performing a
function. The use of macros saves programming and debugging time since a large
portion of the symbol – signal functionality already exists inside the macro.
Beginner programmers can control very complex equipment by using the correct
Crestron Macro. Crestron Macros are located in a Symbol Library folder called
Crestron Macros. Expand the folder by clicking the plus (+) sign. Select the macro
and press F1 for a description.
