A.01.xx and A.02.xx versions were identical and original 2. A.03.xx includes .dlc update for new software revision and modifications due to new directory structure. 3. A.04.xx removes .dlc update 32-bit structure Contribution Purpose -------------------- When developing macros you need to go backwards and forwards between a text editor (such as Windows Notepad) and the ChemStation software to edit and test the macro. This contribution consists of a macro and a command to open a notepad windows in a convenient arrangement to develop macros interactively. Contribution Structure ---------------------- One macro 'WriteMac.Mac'. Prerequisites ------------- - MS operating system as supported by the revision of the ChemStation in use - The LC ChemStation software, Rev A.03.xx or higher Installation ------------ Copy the 'WriteMac.Mac' macro file to the ChemStation's executable directory, 'C:\Chem32\CORE' by default. Load the 'WriteMac.Mac' macro using the 'Macro' command: Macro "WriteMac.Mac" Run the 'WriteMacro' macro, passing the name of an existing macro you wish to edit from the command line, for example: WriteMacro "MyMacro.Mac" You could automate the loading of the macro by including the 'Macro WriteMac.Mac' instruction in your ChemStation's 'User.mac' file in the '\Chem32\CORE' directory. Operation Overview ------------------ The macro 'WriteMacro' will load the command extensions necessary and opens the Notepad window. If you wish to change the editor you can modify the 'WriteMac.Mac' macro to schedule a different text editor.
