Macros and E-MEMs
Macros and E-MEMs can interact in two fundamentally different ways. A
Macro can be created that recalls one or more E-MEMs, or an E-MEM can
be programmed to execute one or more Macros. With care, operating both
control mechanisms together can be extremely powerful. However,
improper use can create infinite loops or other undesirable behavior. It is
especially important that your Zodiak system be loaded with the correct
E-MEMs and Macros and is operating in the correct mode, or unpredict-
able system behavior will result from the mismatched E-MEMs and
macros.
