Macros - Datasat AP20 Installation And Operating Manual

Test by powering off the AP20 from the back, wait 10 seconds and power it back on. The
events you programmed in the POWERON macro should have occurred. Note: you will not
see POWERON in the EVENTS screen. It can only be seen in the Macros screen.
4.5.1.2 Delete Event
To delete an existing event, highlight the event on the list and select Delete Event.
4.5.1.3 Edit Event
To edit an existing event, highlight the event on the list and select Edit Event. This will bring up the
Automation Edit Event screen. Editing choices are the same as those described above in 4.5.1.1 Add
New Event.

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.

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).
