Macros

Overview

A macro is a function that saves control panel operations
and menu operations in a register which can be used to
reproduce the same operations. You can save a macro in
a register and then recall it as required.
There are 999 macro registers on each control panel.
Events
Control panel operations and menu operations registered
in a macro are called "events."
Up to 99 events can be registered in a single macro
register and a total of 1500 events can be registered in all
macro registers.
