macrostringiscomplete,clickdoneandreturntothemain
macrotab.ThecompletedmacrowillappearinthePreset

singleIRcodemacroswillbeautomaticallycreatedforeach

4.1.2EditingCodesinaMacro(Fig.23)
WhenintheEditMacroDefinitionwindow,double-clicking
onamacrostepontherightsidewillopenan “EditMacro
CodeSettings” window.Thisallowsyoutochangethedelay
timebeforethecommandisissued.Thedefaultdelayis.25
seconds.Thiscanbeincreasedby.25-secondincrementsup
to30.5seconds.Oftenacommandrequiresmechanical
movementinthesourceequipmentand,therefore,the
delayisimportantbeforeinitiatingthenextcommand.
Thenumberofrepeatsforeachcommandcanalsobe
changed.Thisisequivalenttopushingandholdingthe
buttonontheremotecontrol.
