To include all settings information associated with an operation when registering You can include the transition rate, cross-point, and region settings information when registering a macro event.

"Macro AT with Rate" utility command: When registering an auto transition macro event, include the transition rate.

Merging macros When creating/editing a macro, you can recall a macro register on a control block that is not in edit mode and then merge the recalled macro with the macro being created/edited. Example: If macro register 1 is recalled while editing macro register 2 Recall register 2, and move to any event. Recall register 1. m Macro being edited (register 2) Recalled macro (register 1) m Add macro from register 1 after current event in register 2. Macro in register 1 remains unchanged. Auto insert mode When creating or editing a macro with auto insert mode enabled, control panel operations and menu operations are automatically inserted as an event. When you start creating or editing a macro with the macro execution mode set to normal execution mode, auto insert mode is automatically enabled. In step execution mode, it is disabled. 304
