Disabling macros
When you disable a macro, the Desigo CC station generates an event. This event is automatically cleared when you re-enable the macro.
Do not disable any of the system macros (in the Backups or Block Command Macros folders), as this will prevent the system from properly executing the associated functions. If a macro is used in a reaction or other automated logic (schedule, and so on) then disabling the macro will result in a failure of the corresponding reaction/schedule. Also, if a macro is invoked by another macro (nested macros) then disabling it will result in a failure of the calling macro.
