Remember, unlike the original Pronto the NG can
have as many page jumps in a macro as you want.
So, as the first step of the macro, jump to a
"Please Wait" screen, run all the macro steps,
then once everything's done jump to the end screen.
If you have a particularly long macro you may
wish to make multiple jumps as it is completing,
either displaying screens with a bargraph with
percent completed or remaining seconds countdown. This is exactly what I do with long macros. For example I have a long macro that does several page jumps: Jump to WAIT SCREEN 1, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 2, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 3, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 4, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 5, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 6, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 7, BEEP 0.2 Sec DELAY 2.00 Sec Jump to HOME PAGE Sometimes it works as intended, but most of the time it will execute the BEEP and DELAY first then continue with the screen jumps. So when executing the macro I first get a beep then it goes through all 7 screens. By that time, the 2 sec delay is about done and it jumps right to HOME. I tried to add 0.1 sec DELAYS between each screen jump but that made no difference. If I put the BEEP after the DELAY then I get the beep somewhere around WAIT SCREEN 5 because it first does the DELAY, Starts to jump through the screens then it beeps after 2 seconds. I could make a work around (make the DELAY 5.0 sec then the BEEP will happen after the page jumps are done) but the problemis it doesn't do this all the time. Sometimes it works like it should, but most of the time it does not. Another example: Jump to WAIT SCREEN, Link to IR code, Link to IR code, Link to IR code, Link to IR code, Link to IR code, BEEP 0.2 sec Jump to Cable TV Same thing here, the BEEP and jump to WAIT SCREEN seem to happen about the same time, then sends all the IR codes, then Jumps to CABLE TV. Again, this happens most of the time, but not everytime. I am using the latest firmware v3.8.14 and PPENG v2.1.4.0 I also tried: Jump to WAIT SCREEN 1, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 2, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 3, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 4, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 5, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 6, Jump to WAIT SCREEN 7, DELAY 0.1 sec, BEEP 0.2 Sec, DELAY 2.00 Sec, Jump to HOME PAGE I thought the delay before and after the beep would help. Didn't work. When I hit the button the first thing that happens is a beep, then it goes through all the wait screens then jump right to HOME.
