HINT: It is often helpful, especially when recording longmacros, to create a script to follow, since you cannot editmacros after recording them.STEP 3: If the User Keys & MISC submenu is still active, press the Stopsoftkey to complete the macro recording. If another menu isactive, you can press the F1, F2, or F3 button (whichever isthe current macro) to stop recording. The list box in themiddle of the menu lists the recorded button presses. You cannow run the recorded macro by pressing the appropriatefunction button.Note that the User Keys only recall button presses, not necessarily thefunctions selected by those button presses. For example, if you want toturn on both the Safe Area and Safe Title displays in the preview output,you press the Safe Area softkey three times. However, if you record amacro that does this, it does not remember the original setting; it onlyremembers that you pressed the Safe Area softkey three times. If it is setto something other than Off, it toggles three times and end up atwhatever setting appears after three presses. This feature is useful forrecording a macro that toggles a parameter setting with each press of thefunction button.To record a macro that selects the same setting for a function every time,you can start the recording by pressing and holding CLEAR andpressing the softkey. This sets that function to its default state, and youcan then toggle the softkey to the desired setting. Now when you runthe macro, it first sets the parameter to a known setting (default), thentoggles to the correct setting.After recording the macro, you can use the Input List pushknob to scrollthrough the list of macro steps (button presses).Auto MenusToggling this softkey to On sets the menus to automatically come upwhen you press these transition select and delegation buttons: Off is thedefault.Pressing KEY 1 recalls the Keyer 1 menu.Pressing KEY 2 recalls the Keyer 2 menu.Pressing DSK recalls the DSK Keyer menu.Pressing WIPE recalls the M/E Wipes menu if the M/E buses areactive, or recalls the Program/Preset Wipe menu if the PGM/PSTbuses are active.MENU UNDO KeyPersonality Menu 8150 Technical Guide5-32 Engineering Setup 9100-0212-04 - May 2000
