Important Notes about Macros
The macros are stored in device presets.
The commands of a macro are executed sequentially (even if error happens at a command).
Macros allow long commands that is suitable for e.g. infra code sending.
Macros cannot be edited in the device.
Macros are not saved when backup is created. See the Configuration Cloning (Backup Tab) section.
