of the bit button.

Macro
An ON Macro is a macro that is run when the associated button is activated to set a bit to 1 (On).
An OFF Macro, on the contrary, is a macro that is run when the associated button is activated to set
a bit to 0 (Off). The following table shows the macros that each bit button operations can support.

Note: When an ON macro or OFF macro is specified, the associated bit setting operation is not
performed until the macro is completely executed. So it is important to keep ON and OFF macros
as short as possible in order not to delay the bit setting operation.
