4.2 Editing Codes in a Macro (Fig. 23)
When in the Edit Macro Definition window, double-clicking
on a macro step on the right side will open an Edit Macro
Code Settings window. This allows you to change the delay
time before the command is issued. The default delay is .25
seconds. This can be increased by .25-second increments up
to 30.5 seconds. Often a command requires mechanical
movement in the source equipment and, therefore, the
delay is important before initiating the next command.
The number of repeats for each command can also be
changed. This is equivalent to pushing the command button
on the remote control multiple times.
Re-Ordering Macro Codes
After a code is added to a macro, highlighting a code and
clicking on the Ý or ß button will reorder the codes.
Macros (updated)
After editing a macro, the macro list is updated to show the
number of IR codes and the display name.
Note that the Macro tab has an additional button at the
bottom that says Update Macros From Library. If codes
were edited in any way in an IR library after a source has
been defined in the Source tab, this button will
automatically pull those changes into the Macro Definition
window.
4.3 Control Macros
An additional option within the Macro tab is the ability to
establish multiple control macros. These macros are
intended for instant access to control functions and are an
optional feature. If a control macro is created, an additional
source menu item is also created titled Control preceded
by the three character short name assigned in the Source
tab.
Creating a control macro is the same process outlined in 4.1
Creating a Preset Macro String on page 17.
5. Zones (Fig. 24)
Up to 14 zones can be defined with the Essentia. Each zone
can be defined with unique properties.
You will notice that the zone tab contains 14 entries for zone
Control Pads. A full twelve zone system can accommodate a
total of 14 Control Pads by using the slave function in the
Edit Zone Properties window. A slave Control Pad is
homerun to the Allport, but automatically shares the same
functions and works in tandem with the main zone Control
Pad. Any number of Control Pads can operate on a single
zone.
