Working with Macros
A macro is a powerful feature that sends
a series of IR commands to your devices.
You can create one macro button on your
activity screen that performs multiple
steps—then you simply press the macro
button on the activity screen to send the
series of commands to your devices.
For example, you may want to turn on
your TV, VCR, and A/V receiver at the
same time, set the TV to channel 3, and
set the VCR to select the channels.
To set up a macro:
1 On the Take Control Editor home
screen, select Macros.
2 Click Add new macro, type the
name of the new macro, and then
click OK.
3 Select a device in the Select source
list. For example, select your TV or
VCR.
4 In the Buttons list, select the appro-
priate button and drag it to the
Macro editor.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to finish building
your macro, and then click Done.
Notes
l
When using macros, your devices may require a
moment to respond, requiring you to include a
short delay between steps. If your device does
not respond correctly when you first use a
macro, try adjusting the Delay setting, begin-
ning with the lowest setting, and then increas-
ing it, as needed. See the TC1000 Online User’s
Guide for more information.
l
You can add about 30 macros.
