CONTROL MACROS

Control macros act on system configuration objects to get or set
parameters or to change the state of the object. The format of a
control macro command is:

ControlMacro.;

The ‘ControlMacro’ command is used to create a copy of a system
configuration object which can then to used in the control macro.

For example, the command:

ControlMacro GP19 = ControlMacro.GetControl(“GP19”);

will create a copy of the GPIO control object called GP19 created by
ECS called GP19 which can be used in the control macro.

These macros are accessed by expanding the ‘Clearcom’ >
‘ScriptLibrary’ > ‘ControlMacro’ entry in the Available Modules menu.
