Setting up button macros using macro mode
Buttons function in either toggle mode or macro mode. By default, the buttons
are in toggle mode, meaning that each time the button is pressed, one of its
programmed commands is issued. (Each button can store up to four commands.)
When a button is in macro mode, one press executes all the commands
programmed onto that button, in the order they were programmed, at 1.5 second
intervals. One example of a button macro application would be pausing multiple
DVD players by pressing the Pause button one time.
Switching to macro mode does not involve the Macro... button in the upper-
right corner of the Controller (MLC) Confi g. tab. This button is not available
on the DVCM 50.
To place a button in macro mode, follow these steps:
1 . On the DVCM DVD or VCR diagram, click the button for which you want to
enable a macro. The button becomes gray.
2 . Program onto the selected button the commands that you want to be part of
the macro. See Assigning command functions to buttons, earlier in this chapter,
for the procedure.
