Project
The element that gathers and manages a micro’s module group is called a project. With the
E4991A, it is impossible to distinguish and use multiple projects within the project
explorer. Therefore, it is necessary to either load a new project into the macro under
construction or to insert an existing project into a saved macro. For how to load a macro,
please refer to
“Loading macros” on page 233.
Module
You can make a macro by describing code in a module. In the E4991A, the following three
types of modules can be used. Each type has its own characteristics as shown below.
• Standard module
Standard module has nothing to do with the user form and is a program composed of
less than one procedure (this program is composed of “Sub” to “End Sub”). The
extension “*.bas” is attached to a standard module.
Step 1. Standard module is added to a project by the following menu command.
