Modular Macro Programming   Using the Import Macro Feature

Utilize the Import Macro feature for speed in programming.The only catch to using Import Macro is that you must

do it before you press RECORD. By first programming macros on an unused device page (you can delete them after

you are finished programming your macros), you can break up long macros into modules and greatly speed the

M

macro recording process.

For example, if you have a system with components that require long sections within each Activity Macro for anchoring

8

the TV input, dimming the lights, or setting up the surround sound, precisely write the sections first, then import each

section into each of your Activity Macros, edit as required and SAVE.

In this example, macro components are arranged on an empty VCR page. After all the MAIN Activity Macros are

programmed, these macros can be deleted or left on a hidden page as you see fit.

Building A Device Library

MXEditor's ability to import and export devices is a powerful programming accelerator. Remember, when you export

R

a device you export all of its learned IR codes and custom labels.Whenever you find that you have done extensive

learning and/or labeling, EXPORT the device and save it for use in other systems. Always save it with a name that

E

gives all three database fields: Category (VCR), Manufacturer (SONY), and Model (SLV5000).Whenever you are

M

starting a new system, peruse your saved devices (.mxd files) and IMPORT any that are previously configured.
