Chapter 5 - Creating and Using Macros

Introduction to Macros

A macro is simply a series of commands. The MACRO
feature enables you to initiate a sequence of up to 60
commands with a single button. You can create a macro
on any control button and also insert time delays into the
sequence. Remember, however, assigning a macro
eliminates the button's original function.
You cannot assign a macro to any of the 8 Device keys,
the Page/Date key, the Backlight/ Sleep key, the three
functions keys (SETUP, DELETE, MACRO), or the five
Channel Classification keys.
