Programming Macros
There are eight keys on the AD2088 keyboard used
for macros. A macro can consist of up to 21
keystrokes. Up to a 1000 different macros can be
divided among the eight keys.
Note: Each macro key can have multiple switching
sequences and therefore multiple numbers
associated with the key. The maximum number of
switching sequences that can be assigned to the
eight macro keys = 1000. Numbering for each key
can start at “1”, however, it is not necessary to
assign numbers in exact sequence.
To program a macro:
1. Turn the keyswitch to the PROGRAM position.
2. Enter the macro number (1-1000).
3. Press the macro key to be programmed.
The macro number appears in the CAMERA
display and a keystroke counter starting at 21
appears in the MONITOR/VCR display.
4. Enter the keystrokes that comprise the macro.
As you press keys, the keystroke counter
decreases.
5. When finished entering the macro keystrokes,
press the macro key to save.
IMPORTANT! You must press the same macro
key you selected in step 3 to save the macro.
