Help!
My mind is getting boggled trying to figure out a couple of issues relating to macros executing from the interfaces' copy or from the PC's copy:
First, my assumption was (is) that a macro that's been flagged as "Run from Interface" will cause execution of the copy of the macro that exists in the interface, even when it is triggered manually from the PC. This does not seem to be the case, however, but I'm having trouble getting a handle on it for sure. The thing that makes me wonder is when the interface has been wiped, and so the only copy of a Run from Interface macro exists on the PC, yet it seems to run. Howcum? Bottom line question is what copy of a macro actually gets executed under what conditions? And, by extension, when testing a Run from Interface macro, do I need to download each new iteration each time in order to test its operation - or is there a way to test the changes from the PC without having to download each iteration? (I hope someone can clear up how this all plays).
Second, about the 16 event flags: Where do those flags actually exist? Obviously, there are flags in the interface because it is capable of stand-alone operation. But are those interface-based flags used even when a macro is executing from the PC's copy? Or, is there another set of 16 flags on the PC side, that are used during execution from the PC? If so, which flag set takes precedence, and when? (I ask because I am seeing situations where the flags do not seem to be working - that is, for condition tests - at times, yet do work other times, and I'm trying to get a handle on what's going on).
Both of these questions are confusing my troubleshooting efforts, so it would be really helpful to know how they are SUPPOSED to work.
Thanks in advance for all good insights.
