Macros

Macros are enclosed in angle brackets (<>) and perform a variety of special functions, as follows:

```
<cr>
```
Inserts a carriage return.
```
<lf>
```
Inserts a line feed.
```
<match> "string"
```
Reports a match if the string enclosed in quotation marks is found in the device response. Each character in the string is matched according to upper and lower case. For example, <match> "Smith" matches Denise Smith and Jeff Smith, but not SMITH.
```
<?>
```
Inserts a wildcard character, for example, CO<?><?>2 matches COOL2 or COAT2, but not COOL3.
```
<hXX>
```
(XX are hexadecimal digits)

Allows any hexadecimal character to appear in a string—including the zero byte, <h00>.
```
<ignore>
```
Ignores the rest of a response from the macro on.
```
<diagnostics>
```
Passes specific error information from a device to remote access, which displays the specific error to you. Otherwise, a nonspecific error message appears.
