Step by Step Guide


Step 1

Enter the names you wish to use as Macros in the Macro section of either the IO or the Global Variable tables.


Step 2


Add and replace your Macro names into your variables. 


For Example: instead of P[1], you’ll type P[Pos_Home]. 

Instead of IO[24], you’ll type IO[Part_Processed].  Note the brackets are required to use Macros.


Step 3

After entering your Macro Names into your program(s), you’ll need to create a header file to define them.  This can be done easily by the following: Project → Create macro definition file → Variable


Step 4

This will create a header definition file, and add it to your program list.  You’ll now need to include that new header file in your program that has the Macros.
