Creating macros
Macros are defined in a procedure made up of several steps:
• Select a program condition by double-clicking in the left-hand list
box. This is the program condition for which the macro is to be
defined. The top right list box then either displays an existing
macro or No macro defined.
• Edit the required macro by double-clicking the lines you want to
change to transfer them to the editing box. There, you can define
different values for the commands. The new command is adopted
when you click Replace or Insert.
• In order to create new or partial macros, you have to select the
required command from the list box at the bottom right and then
complete it in the editing boxes. Following this, the new command
can be transferred into the current macro using Replace or Insert.
• To delete macro command, simply move the bar to the
corresponding command in the current macro and click the
Delete button.
