4.5.2 Macros
The Macros menus allow you to create a script of multiple actions. A Macro may then be assigned to an
Event. The menu bar contains an "Events" button to allow easy navigation between the Events screen
and the Macros screen when building Macros and assigning them to Events.
When the Macros menu is selected, a list of existing Macros are displayed. Scroll through the list of
Macros using the front panel adjustment knob. When an existing Macro is highlighted the actions
making up that Macro are displayed. The example in Figure 86 shows the "Digital_Cinema" Macro.

4.5.2.1 Add Macro

To add a Macro, select the "Add Macro" button. The keyboard screen will appear allowing a Macro
name to be typed in. Choose a name that is meaningful. A name of up to 15 characters will be
displayed. The new Macro name will appear on the list and its "Actions" list will be blank.
Touch the box under "Actions for <macro name>. Actions may now be added. Select "Add After" to
enter the first action. This will bring up the Automation Edit Action screen (for a description of options
available, see Figure 81, and text following it, above).
Continue to define the Macro script by adding Actions before or after existing Actions (highlight
existing actions using the front panel adjustment knob). Existing Actions may also be highlighted and
edited (select the "Edit" button) or removed (select the "Remove" button).

4.5.2.2 Delete Macro

To delete a macro, highlight it on the list and select the "Delete Macro" button.
Any actions contained in the Macro script must be removed before it can be deleted.
Highlight the actions on the list and select the "Remove" button.
Caution. A macro may be deleted even if it is associated with an Event and assigned to an
Automation button.

4.5.2.3 Copy Macro

This feature is useful to create a macro similar to an existing macro without reentering all the events.
After the macro is copied, just change or edit events that should be different.
