Naming Macros
Macros can be named as you create them. Simply stab on the banner at the top of the
Macro Setup display, and enter a name on the QWERTY keyboard.
Alternatively, select Name (to the lower right of the display). This will call up a
pop-up showing, by default Direct Access Macros 1-10 and Indirect Access Macros
11-21, in Layer (Bank) 0 (see opposite). Stab on the required macro number and enter a
name on the QWERTY keyboard. To name a macro in other layers, first select the
appropriate MSel 1-5 box; deselect the MSel box to return to Layer 0. This pop-up
may of course be interrogated at any time to ascertain the function of pre-defined
macros.
The contents of the Name list can be sent to a connected postscript printer by selecting
Print.
KeyPad Macros
As well as the 20 macros assigned to the front panel’s macro keys, 40 additional
‘KeyPad’ macros can be created. For total flexibility, all these macros can be executed
from the optional SSL KeyPad, or from any of the front panel buttons.
To create KeyPad macros 11-50, stab on the Key box below the KeyPad Access group
of buttons in the lower centre of the Macro Setup pop-up. A numerical pop-up will
appear asking you to select a number between 11 and 50. Having done this, create the
contents of the macro in the normal way. The number of the KeyPad macro that you
are currently creating will be shown in the Key box. Note that KeyPad macros may not
be named.
To assign a macro to a KeyPad button, select MACHINES/KeyPad and the KeyPad
pop-up will appear (see opposite). You first need to select the KeyPad you wish to use,
should there be more than one connected to your system. Now select the key you wish
to control the macro. Scroll down the Select a Function list until you find KeyP
Macro*. Stab on this and enter the number of the KeyPad macro you have just created.
OK out of the pop-up and the number of the KeyPad macro will be displayed in the
box for that key.
Note that the MSEL layer select function, for Direct and Indirect Access macros, can
also be controlled from a KeyPad.
See Section 7 for more on KeyPads.
