More Macro syntax help please

Sorry, I debated whether I should add on to the existing thread or start anew, but as this is a new problem, I chose to start a new thread.

(Correct me if I did a bad thing.)

 

Given that Learning Macros records EXACTLY as you enter data into the desk, I'm stumped here.

Problem: When you patch new LED fixtures, EOS has a tendency to leave some of the NPs off of the display data view.

e.g.: You patch a Colourforce II and it shows you the values for Red, Green, Blue, but omits the Amber.

You need to Hold the Data key & select the virtual buttons of the parameters you wish displayed.

So I learnt a Macro to do this and it failed.

Result was:

Query Keywords Luminaire_LED_Wash ♦

Data ChannelParam 50 ChannelParam 51 ChannelParam 12 ChannelParam 48 ChannelParam 20675 ChannelParam 13 ChannelParam 14

There was no data latch.... No Data_Down or Data_Up

The result just leaves me with a command line displaying:

(channels) Blue Green Lime Amber Red White Indigo _

I tried adding an On ♦ to the macro, no effect.

 

Any tips?

Is there another way to do this without the need for the Data key to latch or a way to latch the data key or just a way to turn them On/Off?

(Toggle is less than ideal.)

I did try the [Params] key, but as I'm on Nomad, & Params doesn't have a hotkey, that didn't work either.

  • Got another question.....

    So in one of my macros, it causes a Tab to open.
    I ignored it before, but now it really bothers me.
    How can I close it at the end of the macro?

    I know [Escape] closes tabs. but I can't edit the macro because [Escape] escapes the macro editor.
    and [Escape] is another command not in the virtual button list that you can only access via [Learn].
    I really don't want to relearn the macro because it took me a few hours to construct.

    Any other tips for how to close a Tab from a macro? One that I can edit in?
