Title: Running Macros
Post by: jaja714 on May 03, 2010, 08:59:19 PM

Is there a way to save a macro as a file or shortcut so it can be run directly from my PC?

NO.  Macros can be run from the PC or triggered from a MC460 Desktop Controller.  I have a single macro that turns off modules with a press of A5 OFF from the MC460.

Actually, in a round about way, you can!   ???   -:)

Once you have created the macro in AHP (let's say it triggers from "B1 On")...

Create a new Windows Shortcut.

If you're running a 32 bit version of Windows:

• Set the "Target" to: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendplc b1 on
• Set the "Start in" folder to: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common"

If you're running a 64 bit version of Windows:

• Set the "Target" to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendplc b1 on
• Set the "Start in" folder to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\X10\Common"

Double click the Shortcut, and viola!
