Auto pause insert mode
In addition to the auto insert
mode function, auto pause
insert mode automatically inserts a pause event between
events.
The time between an event being inserted and the next
event
being inserted is set as the pause time.
When macros are merged, pause events are not
automa
tically inserted.

Pausing and resuming a macro
Pause event
You can insert a pause event to pause macro execution.
Thi
s is useful for adjusting the event execution timing.
You can set a pause time in the range of 0 to 999 frames.
When
the set pause time elapses, macro execution
automatically resumes.
When the pause time is set to “0”, macro execution does
not a
utomatically resume. You can resume with arbitrary
timing using the take operation.
When registering a rewind or move to start point
operat
ion as an event for an external device, you must
take into account the time taken to complete execution.
Adjust the timing by inserting a pause event.
Take operation
This operation is used to resume execution of a paused
macro.
A take operation is done using the following buttons.
• [TAKE] button in macro operation mode in the Flexi
Pad con
trol block
• [TAKE] button assigned to the
cross-point pad in the
cross-point control block
• [MCRO TAKE] button assigned to the
transition
control block (simple type)
• Button assigned with the “Macro Take” utility
command
Macro execution mode
The following two types of execution mode can be set.
For details about setting the execution mode, see “Setting
the macro execution mode” (page 416).
Normal execution mode
When execution of an event
ends, the next event is
automatically executed.
Step execution mode
When execution of an event en
ds, execution is paused.
The next event is executed by a take operation.
Executing multiple macros
simultaneously (multi mode)
Normally, a single macro can be executed at a time, but
enabling multi mode allows multiple macros to be
executed.
For details about setting multi mode, see “To enable
simultaneous execution of mult
iple macros” (page 416).
Simultaneous execution of multiple macros is supported
only whe
n macro registers are recalled using the
following buttons.
• Cross-point buttons of the cross-point control block
c
onfigured with a macro attachment
• Cross-point buttons of the cross-point control block
assig
ned with macro register recall function
• Memory recall buttons in the util
ity/shotbox control
block assigned with macro register recall function
• Memory recall buttons in the util
ity control block
assigned with macro register recall function
• In multi mode, macros are executed in normal
e
xecution mode, regardless of the execution mode
setting.
• Up to 16 macros can be executed simultaneously.
• When multi mode is enabled, macro editing is
su
pported only when a register is recalled using the
following operations.
– Buttons in the Flexi Pad control block
– Buttons in the numeric keypad control block
– Buttons in cross-point pad in the c
ross-point control
block
–GPI input
–Menu
• If operations due to events e
xecuting simultaneously
conflict with each other, the events may not be
reproduced with the registered settings or sequence.
• To resume all paused macros within the macros
e
xecuted simultaneously, press the button assigned
with the “Macro All Take” utility command.
• To stop all macros executed simultaneously, press the
but
ton assigned with the “Macro All Cancel” utility
command.
