to allow for a remote <ZERO> switch. This is easily
accomplished by programming a "%z" into macro 0. To
do so, follow these steps:
800< SELECT >
If the display reads "Setup Keyin Code:" then key in
23640 <ID> <[ENTER>. Then, to clear any previous
setup press:
<CLR> <ENTER>
Then to enter in the "%" character, press:
<UpArrow>
once. This will produce an "A" in the display. Then
press:
<DownArrow>
twenty eight times and the displayed character will cycle
to the "%" character. (Note that if the <DownArrow>
key is held down, after about one second it will
auto-repeat and quickly cycle through the choices.)
Then press:
<RightArrow>
once. This will move the entered "%" to the left and
place an "A" in the last position. Then press:
<DownArrow>
thirty nine times and the displayed character will cycle to
the "z" character. Then press
<ENTER>.
However the "%" character (and the "z") may be entered
using fewer down arrow entries. If the starting character
is keyed in as a "." using the <.> key, then the down
arrow only need be pressed nine times instead of twenty
eight times. Refer to the proximity of these two
characters in Figure 21, Character Listing, for further
clarification.
This same example, using the "LEARN" mode would be
implemented as follows:
800 <SELECT>
If the display reads "Setup Keyin Code:" then key in
23640 <ID> <ENTER>.
Then, to clear any previous setup press:
<CLR> <ENTER>
To begin the "LEARN" mode, press:
<ENTER> <SELECT>
Then to "LEARN" the <ZERO> key, press:
<ZERO>
To return to the macro setup mode, keyin:
100 <SELECT>
As you can see, the LEARN mode can simplify the setup
of some basic macros.
16.2 Methods of Invoking Macros
Macros may be executed from 6 sources:
1. Setpoints,
2. RS-232 comm port,
3. Alarms
4. Other macros
5. Macro Menu
6. Local F-keys
A macro may not begin executing during the setup
mode, however a macro may enter the setup mode. It
will, however terminate upon exiting the setup mode.
Any setpoint may be setup to invoke any macro when
the setpoint is activated and/or deactivated (Software
Setpoints only in the 574). A command sent into the 574
through the comm port may also be used to invoke any
macro with the character sequence "%n", where 'n' is the
desired macro number for macro 0 - 9 (i.e. %3 will
execute macro 3), while various punctuation characters
are used for macros 10 - 15. Also, the special codes
which are generated by the function keys F1 through F10
on the GSE remote keypad are decoded as macros 1
through 10. Alarms and remote keys are tied to specific
macros. Refer to Table 27, Macro Invoking Commands
for a summary on the ways each macro may be invoked.
One macro may invoke another macro in one of two
ways. It may "call" the other macro, in which case upon
completion of the second macro, control returns to the
first macro. This allows macros to act as "subroutines".
The second method is for the first macro to "jump to"
another macro. In this case the first macro will not be
resumed when the "jumped to" macro is completed. The
commands for each method are specified in Table 27,
