Edit Macros

Editing macros is the same as creating macros except for the macro already exist.

There are two ways to edit them: Using the GUI and using the command line.

Edit Using the GUI

Requirement:

  • Have a Macro Pool visible on one of the screens.

This is the process to edit a macro:

  1. Tap, hold and swipe out of the macro in the macro pool that is to be edited
  2. Swipe to the Edit swipey command and release the screen.
    The editor opens.
  3. Edit the fields that are to be changed.
  4. Close the editor when the macro is correct. 

Please read the Create Macros topic to learn about adding lines and labeling a macro.

Macro lines can be deleted by selecting the line and then tap the Delete button in the editor.

Edit Using the Command Line

Requirement:

  • The command line feedback is very nice to have visible.

Remember that the List command displays the content at the current location and it can be used at any time.

This is the editing process:

  1. Navigate to the macro that is to be edited:
User name[Fixture]>ChangeDestination Macro [macro_number]
  1. Edit the fields using the Set command. This simply overwrites the current content in the field.
  2. When done editing, return to the root location:
User name@ShowData/DataPools/Default/Macros/Macro #>ChangeDestination Root

Please read the Create Macros topic to learn about adding lines and labeling a macro.

Delete a Macro Row Using the Command Line

Macro rows can be deleted using the command line:

  1. Navigate to the macro where the row is to be deleted:
User name[Fixture]>ChangeDestination Macro [macro_number]
  1. Use the Delete command followed by the row number:
User name@ShowData/DataPools/Default/Macros/Macro #>Delete [macro_row_number_list]
Hint:
Multiple rows can be deleted by writing a list of numbers.
  1. When done deleting rows, return to the root location:
User name@ShowData/DataPools/Default/Macros/Macro #>ChangeDestination Root
