FPM-3220 User’s Manual 18Chapter 3 Macro Key Programming3.1 IntroductionOur workstations are equipped with programmable function keys (macrokeys) that greatly enhance the operator interface. Macros, which are farmore powerful than batch files, automate the most commonly used inputsequences. They extended their functional reach to within applicationprograms.3.2 Macro Key ReviewThe complete macro function consists of the following elements:Macro keys (SF1, SF2,... SF10)Ten programmable macro keys that are located on the dust-proof door onthe front panel of your workstation.Macro EEPROMHolds the key sequences that are activated when the corresponding macrokey is pushed.Macro programming utilityIn the sub-directory, Drive&utility/FPM series/KBT-utility, of the HMIutility CD-ROM, you will find a program called SFED3220.COM. TheSFED3220 program provides an edit function to produce an ASCII filethat contains key stroke sequences for every macro key. After you havefinished editing the file, the program will ask you whether you want tosave the macro script and/or transmit it to the EEPROM. Macros consistof keystroke sequences to automate the most common procedures in yourapplication. The way they function is much like batch files (.BAT) underDOS, but there are some differences. In a Macro, you have to specify theENTER key explicitly. Also, macros give you the option of entering keysequences in an application that was executed by the macro itself. |
