3. Type the key for calling the macro ( [A-Z] ).
4. Enter the keystrokes to be recorded to the macro. The software will execute the
keystrokes as you type them.
5. End macro recording by pressing [Ctrl- –] .
6. Type a description for the macro and press [Enter] .
Note Several Alt-letter key combinations are pre-defined in the ladder editor (e.g., [ALT-I] ,
to display ladder information). Macros take precedence over pre-defined functions. In
other words, if you define a macro as [Alt-I] , when you press [Alt-I] , the macro will
run, instead of the information screen. To restore the pre-defined Alt-key function,
delete the macro. Pre-defined Alt keys are listed below.
[Alt-C] change processor mode
[Alt-D] display menu
[Alt-E] note editor
[Alt-F] access force menu
[Alt-H] user defined help
[Alt-I] system information (processor status)
[Alt- –] display previous program file
[Alt-N] display next program file
[Alt-T] access tag functions
Tip Once a macro has been defined, you cannot edit a particular keystroke within the
macro; the entire macro must be redefined. To facilitate changes, break your macros
into several smaller macros and create a macro to execute them all. (Or you can chain
the macros together by executing the next macro as the last keystroke of the preceding
macro.)
