Macro Operations in the Numeric Keypad Control Block and the Keyframe Control Block
Switching auto insert mode on or off for macro creation/editing
In the auto insert mode, when creating or editing a macro, an operation carried
out on the control panel is automatically registered as an event.
When this mode is off, it is necessary to press the [INS] button in the keyframe
control block for each operation to register the event.
To switch auto insert mode on or off, press the [AUTO INS] button in the
keyframe control block.
Notes
When you start macro editing using the numeric keypad control block with the
macro execution mode set to “Normal” (see “Setting the Macro Execution
Mode” in Chapter 19 (Volume 3)), the auto insert mode is automatically on.
When “Step” is selected as the macro execution mode, the auto insert mode is
automatically off.
