Macro Viewer
This section provides reference and background information about the Macro Viewer application. For related procedures, see the step-by-step section.
Overview
The Macro Viewer is an application for displaying and commanding selected control objects such as system macros and pseudo-points, represented by a set of symbols. To start the command action, you select a symbol and click the Execute command icon in the toolbar. The symbols are grouped by the location of their corresponding objects: Desigo CC or control panels.
The Macro Viewer is fully integrated with the other system applications. You can double click a symbol to select the corresponding object in System Manager. In addition, a filtering selection on the Node Map also applies to the Macro Viewer, for instance when you want to focus on events and commands of a specific fire control panel.
