Menu Macros
Menu Macros
The term “menu macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of menu
operations is saved as data in memory, so that it can be recalled as required to
automatically execute the same sequence of operations.
Using any of the menus in the following table, you can edit menu macro
registers and menu macro events.
Menu macro registers
The area of memory that holds a menu macro is termed a “menu macro
register.” For each control panel there are 99 menu macro registers, numbered
1 to 99. You can manipulate these in the menu macro register menu.
Menu macro events
The events that can be recorded in a menu macro are operations carried out in
a menu.
For menu operations which are not recorded in menu macros, see “Menu
Operations Not Recorded in a Menu Macro” (page 1036).
Menu macro creation and editing
Carry out menu macro creation and editing in the menu.
Executing menu macros
You execute a menu macro after recalling a menu macro register.
You can recall and execute simultaneously. You can also recall and execute a
menu macro from a macro recalled on the control panel.
