USING THE MACRO EDITOR - Continued

(System Control Processor

The Relay Control step is used to change the current state of one

of the device's relay outputs. Select the action you would like for

the relay output then select the number of the relay to control.

(System Control Processor

must be present)

The System Macro step is used to trigger a system macro stored in

the control processor. This step is used within a standalone mode

button macro when steps such as button tests, page links or send

ing IR commands, need to take place on the device and IR/RS232

commands need to be sent from the control processor with a single

button press. The interface device sends a signal to the control

processor telling it to begin running the desired system macro.

The macro on the interface device will then immediately move on to the next step.

Note: If you try to trigger two system macros in a row from a standalone-mode macro (macro on a button set

to standalone output mode), the control processor will likely not have finished processing the first macro before it

is told to run the second. Therefore, you must insert a time delay step in the interface device's standalone macro

that is at least as long as the control processor will take to run each system macro.

Placing a system macro step

in a macro that is already running on the control processor, however, does not need the extra time delay added.

In this case, the original macro will not continue running until the system macro completes.

See the Understanding System Macros - Chapter 8 for more information.

The Flag step is used to keep

track of a component or a

remote device's status and act based on that status. There

are multiple flags available, which you set or clear under

macro control. You can use the "Test Flag" option to take dif

ferent actions based on whether or not a certain flag is set.

For example, you can use this functionality to make discrete

power ON and OFF macros for components for which you

have only toggle codes. Use the "Set Flag" option when you

turn on the component, the "Clear Flag" when you turn it off, and the "Test Flag" option to determine if a power

command should be sent based on the flag status. A tech bulletin can be found on our website at www.rticorp.

com/dealers describing this process.

Note: Flags exist and are named on a per-device basis (Flags can be named within the Macro Editor or within

the Device's Properties.) Flag 001 on one remote device is not related to Flag 001 on the control processor. A

macro can set, clear, and test only those flags within the device it is running on. In particular, this means that

System macros and Standalone macros will operate on a completely different set of flags.
