The settings panel of the Macro object

The Macro object is used to support the automatic execution of a predefined sequence of commands upon the occurrence of certain events registered by Axxon PSIM. The settings panel of the Macro object is shown in the figure.

The table describes the setting parameters corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Macro object.

2	The Name* field	Enter the value in the field	Sets the name of the Macro object	Latin, Cyrillic, numbers, and service characters	Macro	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters except > and < characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
3	The Disable checkbox	Set the checkbox	Disables the Macro object	Boolean type	Clear	Set—the Macro object is disabled and isn't used Clear—the Macro object is enabled and used
The Settings group
4	The State drop-down list	Enter the value in the field	Sets the message displayed in the information board of the main menu of Axxon PSIM when the given macro is running	Latin, Cyrillic, numbers, and service characters	NA	Standard—no message is displayed in the information board of the main menu of Axxon PSIM. A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
5	The Local checkbox	Set the checkbox	Sets the computers, which will execute the given macro (on all computers of the video surveillance system with distributed architecture or only on the given computer). Note. This checkbox doesn't apply for hiding and showing reactions of any Display. Regardless of the checkbox, when calling from the Server/RAW, the reactions are executed on the Server/RAW and all connected Clients; when calling on the Client, the reactions are executed only on the Client	Boolean type	Clear	Set—the macro is executed only on the given computer Clear—the given macro is executed on all computers of the video surveillance system with distributed architecture
6	The Hidden checkbox	Set the checkbox	Determines whether the name of this macro is displayed in the main control panel of Axxon PSIM to be started manually	Boolean type	Clear	Set—the name of the macro isn't displayed in the main control panel of Axxon PSIM Clear—the name of the macro is displayed in the main control panel of Axxon PSIM
The Events subgroup
7	The Type drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the type of objects in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture, in which the event registration triggers a macro	Types of objects registered in the system	NA	Depends on the total number of the types of objects created in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture
8	The Number drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the identification number of the object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture, in which the event registration triggers a macro	Sequence of numbers	NA	Depends on the total number of the objects of the specified type created in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture
9	The Name field	Automatically	Displays the name of the selected object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture	Names of the objects of the specified type registered in the system	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
10	The Event drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the event that triggers a macro for the specified object	Names of the events available for the given type of objects	NA	A list of events is created individually for each type of object
The Parameters subgroup Note. The given subgroup isn't active for all types of objects
11	The Name field	Automatically	Sets the name of the additional parameter for the selected type of object in the Events subgroup	Latin, Cyrillic, numbers, and service characters	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
12	The Value field	Enter the value in the field	Sets the value for the parameter in the Name column	Latin, numbers, and service characters	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 250
The Action subgroup
13	The Type drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the type of objects in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture to which the command is forwarded when the conditions set in the Events subgroup to trigger a macro are met	Names of the types of objects registered in the system	NA	Depends on the total number of the types of objects created in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture
14	The Number drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the identification number of the object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture to which the command is forwarded when the conditions set in the Events subgroup to trigger a macro are met	Sequence of numbers	Empty field	Depends on the total number of the objects of the specified type in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture. If the field is left blank, the reaction is performed for all objects of the selected type. If you enter the # symbol in the field, the identifier of the object from which the event was received is substituted into the reaction. The object types in the Events and Actions tables may differ. When the macro is run manually from the main control panel, the # symbol is treated as if the field is blank, that is, the macro is executed for all objects of the selected type. Example of using the # symbol: disarm the camera if the Detach event is received from it
15	The Name field	Automatically	Displays the name of the selected object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture	Names of the objects of the selected type registered in the system	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
16	The Action drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets the action that the given device performs when the conditions to trigger the given macro are met	Names of the actions available in the system for the objects of the specified type	NA	A list of events is created individually for each type of object
The Parameters subgroup Note. The given subgroup isn't active for all types of objects
17	The Name field	Automatically	Sets the name of the additional parameter for the selected type of object in the Actions subgroup	Latin, numbers, and service characters	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
18	The Value field	Enter the value in the field	Sets the value for the parameter in the Name column	Latin, numbers, and service characters	NA	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 250
Out of the groups
19	The Response sending delay (s) field	Enter the value in the field	Sets the time period in seconds that must pass after the events specified in the Events column occur and before executing the reactions specified in the Actions column. Note. If the events reoccur before the specified time period expires, the reaction execution waiting period is prolonged, that is, reactions are executed only once when events don't reoccur over the specified period	Sequence of numbers	NA	>0
20	The Fast call field	Left-click in the field and press the required key combination	Sets a keyboard shortcut for a macro. Note. If the same combination of keys is set for several macros, then when pressing a key combination, all of these macros will run	Key combinations	Clear	Individual keys of the main or numeric keyboard, as well as the given keys in combination with Shift, Ctrl, and Alt
21	The Icon type drop-down list	Select the value from the list	Sets a set of icons for displaying a macro on the map. By default, an empty value is set for all macros, which corresponds to the "Macro 1" icon. Note. Changing the icon type will take effect after restarting the map interface. To restart the interface, restart Axxon PSIM or log in once again under the corresponding Operator account	Available icon types on the map	Empty value	Empty value, Macro 1—Macro 7
