Editing Macros - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

Macros
Also, for non-latching functions, you need to ensure that the physical macro button
itself gets turned off after the function has been actioned. To do this, enter the
appropriate Macro Keys* number (see Page 8-7) as a Switch Off function at the end of
the macro.

Editing Macros

Comprehensive editing facilities are provided to facilitate the entry of macros.
When writing macros from scratch, the After function is selected by default. This
means that each new entry for a macro appears below the one previously entered. If
you toggle After to Before, a new entry will appear above the one previously entered.
The macro list is always actioned top to bottom.
The Copy and Paste boxes allow the contents of an 'on' or 'off' macro entry to be
copied and pasted from one button to another, thus forming the basis or the entire
contents of another button's function. This can be extremely useful when you wish to
re-arrange the macro button layout.
First select the layer and macro button you wish to copy from. The partial contents of a
macro, above or below – but including, a specific entry, may be copied, by first
selecting that entry (the entry turns brighter) followed by Copy. The entries you copy
will be subject to selection of the Before/After function. If Before is on, you will copy
the selected entry and all entries above; if After is on, the selected entry and all entries
below will be copied. Alternatively, with no entries selected, the entire contents of the
macro may be copied by stabbing on Copy.
Having selected On Macro/Off Macro as appropriate, select the layer and macro that
you wish to copy to. If you are adding to existing functions, selection of Before will
paste the new entries before existing entries; with After selected, not surprisingly, the
new entries will be pasted after existing entries. Stab on Paste to complete the
operation.
Functions can be simply inserted in an existing macro, following the same rules for
Before and After. Highlight an existing entry, before or after which you wish to make
the insertion. Now select a new entry from the function list.
By stabbing to select an entry in the left hand list (the entry turns brighter) the
following functions may also be used:
Delete will delete the selected entry. Push Up and Push Down move the selected
entry up or down the list as required. Clear removes all entries in a macro, subject to
selection of the 'on' or 'off' functions by means of the On Macro/Off Macro box.
Deselect Clear when finished.
