Example 4: changing a value to the next value in a list
For many entries in the Control List, changing a value involves selecting a value from a
short list of possible values. For example, when you change the brightness of the screen
you can select bright, medium or dark. This example shows you how to create a macro to
change the current value to the next value in one of these entries, whatever that value
may be.
For entries where the values are on and off, creating a macro to go to the next value
means you can toggle the entry on and off using the same macro. For other entries it
means you go to the next value each time you use the macro.
This example shows you how to create a macro to switch Help Mode on or off.
When you run this macro, the transceiver:
goes to the Help Mode entry in the Control List
changes the value to the next value in the list (that is, from On to Off, or Off to On)
saves the value
The timing with which this macro operates is immediate. This means that the macro
operates in the background and simply displays the result (that is, Help Mode is switched
on or off).
To create this macro:
1 Log into admin level (for help see page 110, Logging into admin level from user
level).
1 Press until Main Menu is displayed.
1 Scroll to Control, then press .
1 Scroll to Help Mode, then hold .
A question mark is displayed at the end of the top line to indicate that you can now
change the value.
1 Hold to open the List Manager.
1 Scroll to Macros..., then press .
1 Scroll to Create macro, then press .
The transceiver asks you to select the action you want the macro to perform.
1 Scroll to Set next value, then press .
The transceiver asks you to select the timing with which the macro operates.
1 Scroll to Immediately, then press .
If you want to briefly view the value to which the setting is changing, select Before
pause.
1 Press the key to which you want to assign the new macro.
1 Scroll to the macro that you want to have in the list immediately after the new
macro, then press .
