This dialog enables you to create a new user defined macro function.
To access this dialog, on the User-Defined Macro Functions dialog, select New.
Your user defined macro names must be unique, do not copy or use existing macro names as this results in the macros failing to display correctly.
Macro function
Allows you to type a new user-defined function name.
Abbreviation
Allows you to type a new user-defined macro function abbreviation macro function abbreviation. An abbreviation can contain spaces but must start with a character and include at least one alphabetical character. You can use up to four characters.
If you want to use macro function abbreviations in loop block macros, make sure the macro function abbreviation is different from an instrument type abbreviation, which is a required segment in the loop macro function string. For details about loop blocks and loop block macro structure, see Loop Blocks.
Description
Allows you to type an optional description for the user-defined macro function.
Standard macro function superposition
Displays the standard macro functions that you have selected for the superposition in the new user-defined function. Select Insert to add another standard function.
Parameters

Move Up /Move Down
Allows you to change the order of selected standard functions within the superposition.
Insert
Opens the Standard Macro Functions dialog to select the appropriate standard function to be added to the standard function superposition.
Delete
Removes a standard function from the superposition.
