Ch. 13 - Macro ScriptingThe date format can be entered in variousnumerical formats as long as the month, the date,and the year are separated by spaces, dashes,forward slashes, commas, or periods and they arein that order. Other formats will generate anInvalid Format message.Note: The WAITUNTIL Command is referenced to the time and date set in yourcomputer’s operating system. Please make sure that the operating system time anddate are accurate before using this function.Generic Example using WAITUNTILBegin Macro (automatically added when the window is opened)WaitUntilBegin LoopCommand A1Command B1Command C1Command D1End LoopEnd Macro (automatically added when the window is opened)In the generic example, the macro will begin running, but will pause until the date and timespecified by the WAITUNTIL command. Once that time is achieved, the loop series will beginfor the prescribed number of iterations before completing the macro.END MACROPurpose and UseThe END MACRO Command defines an endpoint to the Macro subroutine. This command isautomatically placed as the macro endpoint when a new macro is created. This END MACROcommand is supplemental and can be added anywhere throughout the macro program.This command can be effective when the user would like to end a macro before it has completedall of its program steps. This is useful as a temporary interrupt to a rather large and complexmacro that can yield effective results by just running a portion of the macro. The intermediateEND MACRO Command can be switched on and off using the disable feature. This allows theflexibility during playback without significant modification to the base complex macro.More commonly, however, the intermediate END MACRO Command can be used following anIF statement. This allows the user to exit a macro once a specific condition has been met.User Guide to the SPOT Insight Camera 259
