Creating a Macro Group for Relay Commands

closing drapes, a MACRO GROUP will need to be setup to create the RF TRIGGERS to activate the
RELAYS from the REMOTE. To create a Macro Group for Relay Commands:
1. To open the MAKE SMART MACRO WINDOW do either of:
a) In the MSC-EDITOR MENU BAR, click PROGRAM, then click MAKE SMART MACRO.
b) In the MSC EDITOR TOOL BAR, click the MAKE SMART MACRO ICON.
