Macro Editor

Edward Updated by Edward

The macro editor is an enhancement to the command interface and allows you to create a list of commands that are executed in one operation.

 

NEO Notes & Tips: This is particularly useful if you have a sequence of commands that you use frequently. Creating a macro enables you to activate the sequence in one operation rather than entering each command manually.

You can use the macro editor to create new macros or to edit existing ones.

 

Open the “Macro Editor” by clicking on the button at the bottom of the Main Display or by pressing <F10> on your keyboard.

To create a macro:

 

  • §  Click the “Add” button at the bottom left of the window.
  • §  The “New Marco” dialog box will appear. Enter a meaningful name and click “OK” to create the macro. If you want to assign a shortcut to the macro you can do so in the same dialog.
  • §  Type the commands for your macro into the window on the right-hand side.
  • §  The “Run” button can be used to execute the macro. As the macro executes, the Command Line of the Main Display will be updated.
  • §  “Console Edit” is toggle. When activated, the background is red. Console commands will be added to the macro as they are entered.

Deleting a macro can be achieved by selecting it in the left-hand panel and clicking the “Remove” button. A confirmation dialog will prompt you to confirm the deletion before the macro is removed.

To edit the macro name and/or shortcut, double click on the row in the macro list. The same dialog as was used to add a macro will be displayed.

 

Right-clicking on a macro name will bring up a menu that allows you to print the selected macro or all macros and set a toggle which orders the list by number rather than name.

 

Once a macro has been created, it may be protected from alteration by selecting it and clicking on the “Unlocked” button which changes to “Locked”.
