Execu teJS top/Co ntin ue
The Execute command causes the current macro to be executed from the
beginning. Execution can be intemlpted at any point with the Stop function. It is
then possible to edit the macro before selecting Continue which will resume
execution of the macro from the currently highlighted instruction.
Record
The record option allows a sequence of user interface operations to be converted
into a macro. All operations between selecting Record and the subsequent
selection of Stop are recorded as a macro.
To reduce redundant instructions only the final value of analogue
parameters is insel1ed as an instruction. There is no sense of time delay in
the recorded sequence. each instruction follows directly after its
predecessor. To introduce time delays. Wait For and Delay instructions
must be insel1ed with the editor.
Libraries
A library is a collection of macros. The Stereoscan 440 comes with a standard
library which contains the macros required by the user interface for standard calls
from menus and panels.
AIl macro libraries must contain the standard macros as a subset.
Once a macro is in a library it can be assigned to a toolbar icon (see Section 3.7.4
The Toolbar Editor) or called from one of the user defmed function keys.
The assignmento function keys is made entirely by the macro name. For
example, macro FS is assigned to function key 5, while macro Shift F6 is
assigned to the shifted function key 6.
The following operations may be performed on macro libraries:-
Install
A macro can be installed into a library, which means that it will appear in the list
of macros which can be selected. If a macro of the same name already exists in
the library, the user is asked whether the old macro should be overwritten.
Fetch
Fetching a macro from a library, loads it into the edit window where it can be
executed or edited.
