4. To define a hotkey for the macro, choose one from the Key list. To add a modifier to the
hotkey, check the Control, Shift or Alt boxes. (A macro’s hotkey is accessible only when
the macro belongs to the active macro group.)
5. By default, the Include in Menu box is checked, indicating the macro will appear in the
Macros menu. If you do not wish to include the macro in the Macros menu, uncheck this
box. In this case, if the macro definition includes a hotkey, you will still be able to use the
hotkey to run the macro, even if the macro’s name does not appear in the Macros menu.
6. Type the macro string in the Keystrokes box. For non-printing and special character code
sequences, use the following escape sequences:
New line: \n
Carriage return: \r
Form feed: \f
Horizontal tab: \t
Backspace: \b
Delay character (500 ms): \d
Hexadecimal code sequence: \0x<NN>, where <NN> is the hexadecimal byte. For
example, the Ctrl+D character sequence may be sent by using 0x04.
Octal code sequence: \0<NNN>, where <NNN> is the octal byte. For example, the
Ctrl+D character sequence may be sent by using 0004.
7. From the Control Code menu, select the sequence to invoke with the selected characters.
8. In the Access Rights area, specify whether you wish for the macro to be a global macro
(available to all users) or a personal macro (available only to the current user).
You must have DSView software administrator privileges to use the Access Rights
area.
9. Click OK. The Configure Macros dialog box returns to its abbreviated display and the
macro appears in the Macros area.
10. Click OK to close the Configure Macros dialog box.
To edit an existing macro:
NOTE: You must have DSView software administrator privileges to edit Global Macros.
1. Select Macros - Configure - Macros from the menu. The Configure Macros dialog box
appears.
2. In the Macros table, select the macro you wish to edit.
