MACRO TOOLS
ACE also contains Macro Tools that can record register reads and
writes. Use the Installation Wizard or click Proceed to Memory
Map to use these tools. To use the Macro Tools, select the Record
Sub-Commands checkbox and click the Record button (see
Figure 10). Changes in the memory map remain bolded until these
changes are applied to the device. The changes are also recorded as
user interface (UI) commands by the Macro Tools once the
changes are made. Changed register write commands for the
controls are also recorded. Click Apply Changes to execute the
commands and make changes to the memory map. To stop
recording, click the Stop Recording button. A Macro Tools page
with the command steps is then created. The macro can be saved

using the Save Macro button so that the macro can be loaded
for future use.
The raw macro file is saved using
not easily readable. To remedy this, the
includes an ACE Macro/Hex Converter tool (see Figure 11). The
user can choose to include or exclude register write, reads, and/or
comments in the conversion. The file pathways for the source
and save paths are the same, except the source is an .acemacro
file, and the save is a .txt file. The Convert button (see Figure 11)
converts the macro to hex, which is easier to read, and the
conversion tool can also convert .txt files back to .acemacro files,
if desired.
