Example Description Status Message
T01MACROQ125
Execute macro number 125 without generating any status 
messages. 
T01MACROQ125
8.63. MACROS -- Start a New Macro
This command is used to start writing a new macro with a specified macro number. This command is 
used in conjunction with the 
MACROA and MACROW commands to create a new macro. If this command 
is sent while another macro is in the process of being written (before the 
MACROW command is sent), 
then the macro in progress will be deleted and the new one will be started. 
See the description of the 
MACROA command for detailed information on creating macros. 
8.64. MACROW -- Write Macro to Non-Volatile Memory
This command writes the macro that is currently being defined to non-volatile memory. This command 
is used in conjunction with 
MACROA and MACROS to create a new macro. If this command is sent when 
no macro is in progress (i.e., if a 
MACROS command has not been sent) or if the macro number sent 
with this command does not match the number of the macro in progress, then an error will be 
returned. 
See the description of the 
MACROA command for detailed information on creating macros. 
This command is saved to global non-volatile memory and is not part of a preset. Its value is saved 
each time it is changed. It will retain its value after power-down. Since this command writes to non-
volatile memory, there will be a delay before an acknowledgment is returned. 
8.65. MACROX -- Execute Macro
This command executes the macro corresponding to the specified number. The macro must have been 
previously defined and stored in non-volatile memory via the 
MACROS, MACROA, and MACROW 
commands. If the specified macro is empty, then an error condition of ERROR#070 will be generated. 
When the MACROX executes, status messages for all of the commands in the macro will be generated 
(unless 
acknowledgement mode is turned off). The status messages can be suppressed by using the 
MACROQ command, which is exactly the same as MACROX except that status messages are suppressed. 
Example Description Status Message
T01MACROX125
Execute macro number 125.
Status messages for all the commands in the macro will 
be generated first, followed by the message: 
T01MACROX125
8.66. METER -- Select which Signal is Displayed on the Front
