18Fig. 22Fig. 234.2 Editing Codes in a Macro (Fig. 23)When in the Edit Macro Definition window, double-clickingon a macro step on the right side will open an “Edit MacroCode Settings” window. This allows you to change the delaytime before the command is issued. The default delay is .25seconds. This can be increased by .25-second increments upto 30.5 seconds. Often a command requires mechanicalmovement in the source equipment and, therefore, thedelay is important before initiating the next command.The number of repeats for each command can also bechanged. This is equivalent to pushing the command buttonon the remote control multiple times.Re-Ordering Macro CodesMacros (updated)After a code is added to a macro, highlighting a code andclicking on the or button will reorder the codes.After editing a macro, the macro list is updated to show thenumber of IR codes and the display name.Note that the Macro tab has an additional button at thebottom that says “Update Macros From Library.” If codeswere edited in any way in an IR library after a source hasbeen defined in the Source tab, this button willautomatically pull those changes into the Macro Definitionwindow.Ý ß4.3 Control Macros4.1Creating a Preset Macro StringAn additional option within the Macro tab is the ability toestablish multiple control macros. These macros areintended for instant access to control functions and are anoptional feature. If a control macro is created, an additionalsource menu item is also created titled “Control” precededby the three character “short name” assigned in the Sourcetab.Creating a control macro is the same process outlined inon page 17.5. Zones (Fig. 24)Up to 14 zones can be defined with the Essentia. Each zonecan be defined with unique properties.You will notice that the zone tab contains 14 entries for zoneControl Pads. A full twelve zone system can accommodate atotal of 14 Control Pads by using the slave function in the“Edit Zone Properties” window. A slave Control Pad ishomerun to the Allport, but automatically shares the samefunctions and works in tandem with the main zone ControlPad. Any number of Control Pads can operate on a singlezone.
