26 AWS-8259 User's Manual

3.1 Introduction

Our workstations are equipped with programmable function keys (mac-

ro keys) that greatly enhance the operator interface. Macros, far more

powerful than batch files, automate the most commonly used input se-

quences. They extended their functional reach to within application pro-

grams.

3.2 Macro Components

The following article explains how to use and program the function keys.

The complete macro function consists of the following elements:

Macro keys

Ten programmable macro keys that are located under the monitor screen

of your workstation.

Macro EEPROM

Holds the key sequences that are activated when the corresponding mac-

ro key is pushed.

Macro programming utility

Locate the program SFED8259 COM in the Function Key Utility dis-

kette for function key programming. The SFED software provides an

edit function to produce an ASCII file that contains keystroke sequences

for every macro key. After you have finished editing the file, the pro-

gram will ask you whether you want to save the macro script and/or

transmit it to the EEPROM. Macros consist of keystroke sequences to

automate the most common procedures in your application. The way

they function is much like batch files (.BAT) under DOS, but there are

some differences. In a Macro you have to specify the ENTER key ex-

plicitly. Macros give you the possibility to enter key sequences in an

application that was executed by the macro itself.
