Event List - Action Macros
An Action is a kind of Macro that consists of a string of characters forming a line of
commands. These commands can be internal (Congo) or external (COM port serial
communication with DVD player, computers etc). Action Macros can be entered directly in
the Sequence Action Macro column. Action Macros can be linked to Triggers in the Event
list.
In the Playback View Action Macros are shown with the"*" character or the word "Action
Macro" depending on format.
Action Macro Rules
The rules for all Action Macros are very strictly defined. There is no warning if your formatting
is wrong.
• An Action Macro starts with an action type (for example COM, MIDI, GO, RELAY).
The commando is followed by a list of parameters, separated by commas.
• Parameters in <> are optional.
• Multiple commands can be entered in the same Action Macro, separated by a
semicolon ; character.
