Hot keys
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 339
Assigning several macros to one key
Several macros can be assigned to one key. When you use a hot key to which several
macros have been assigned, the list of macros is displayed so you can select the one you
want, as shown in Figure 53.
Figure 53: Using a hot key to which several macros have been assigned
The order in which the macros are listed can be changed. When you assign a macro to a
key you are prompted to select the position in the list in which you want to insert the new
macro. You can also change the order after you have assigned the macro to a key by
copying or moving the macro to and from the same or a different key. For more
information see page 344, Copying a macro and page 345, Moving a macro.
Automating several tasks with one macro
Macros can be created to perform two or more tasks in succession. For example, you can
create a macro that selects a particular channel then makes a call, or one that displays
your GPS position then sends that position to a particular station.
You can create a macro that performs several tasks by either joining two macros or
adding to a macro. For more information see page 347, Joining macros and page 348,
Adding to a macro.
Troubleshooting macros
If you need to troubleshoot your macros, the Macro Single Step entry in the Control List
may help you. When this entry is switched on and you run a macro, each individual step
in the macro is displayed on the screen. The length of time each step is displayed can be
set using the Macro Pause entry in the Control List.
NOTE
If a macro performs a different function when the hot key is held, for
example, the Secure macro, you must press the hot key repeatedly until
the macro is highlighted, then hold or hold the hot key to select the
hold function for the key.
