Example 4: changing a value to the next value in a list
For many entries in the Control List, changing a value involves selecting a value from a
short list of possible values. This example shows you how to create a macro to change
the current value to the next value in one of these entries, whatever that value may be.
For entries where the values are On and Off, creating a macro to go to the next value
means you can toggle the entry on and off using the same macro.
This example shows you how to create a macro to switch key beeps on or off.
When you run this macro, the transceiver:
• goes to the Key Beep entry in the Control List
• changes the value to the next value in the list (that is, from On to Off, or Off to On)
• saves the value
The timing with which this macro operates is immediate. This means that the macro
operates in the background.
To create this macro:
1 Log in to admin level (for help see page 128, Logging in to admin level from user
level).
1 Press until Main Menu is displayed.
1 Scroll to Control, then press .
1 Scroll to Key..., then press .
1 Scroll to Beep, then hold .
A question mark is displayed at the end of the top line to indicate that you can now
change the value.
1 Hold to open the List Manager.
1 Scroll to Macros..., then press .
1 Scroll to Create macro, then press .
The transceiver asks you to select the action you want the macro to perform.
1 Scroll to Set next value, then press .
The transceiver asks you to select the timing with which the macro operates.
1 Scroll to Immediately, then press .
If you want to briefly view the value to which the setting is changing, scroll to
Before pause, then press .
1 Press the key to which you want to assign the new macro.
1 Scroll to the macro you want to have in the list immediately after the new macro,
then press .
1 Type a name for the macro, then press .
The macro is created and assigned to the key, and the List Manager remains open.
