The macro panel is used to create function blocks. Only the data points of the macro panel are displayed in the editor. And only these have to be linked. Only components within the panel or its channels can be linked when the edit mode is active.
Creating a macro:
1.Creating the macro panel in the editor (editing mode is active)
2.Creating the channels / components / links
3.Finally, right-click on the panel -> Exit editing mode and save
4.In order for the macro panel to be displayed in the component list, the EisBaer editor must be restarted. For this there is then the new category "macros".
A macro has now been created. Storage path: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Alexander Maier GmbH\EisBaer 3.0\Macros.
In addition, the created macro is displayed as a component in the EisBaer component list. It is possible to change the macro via right click --> edit mode.
After saving the changes, a new macro will be created and will be available again as a component after the editor restart.
Note: If the macro panel is copied, "Create new nets" must be selected. Otherwise the internal nets will also be lost.
