Figure 1-2: Logic Maestro Control Sequence List
At the bottom of the list of control sequences there are five buttons to 
access functions to create, delete, import, export and clone control 
sequences.
CONTROL SEQUENCE PROPERTIES
Enabled Checkbox
The checkbox in the leftmost column of the control sequence list 
determines whether the Logic Maestro control sequence is saved with 
the system configuration in the database.  If the box is checked the 
control sequence will be saved with the configuration; if it is not 
checked it will not be saved with the configuration and therefore will not 
be downloaded to the matrix with the configuration.
Edit Logic Column
The ‘Edit Logic’ column contains links to the source for the selected 
control sequence.  Clicking on the link will open the logic design 
window and display the selected control sequence in the design pane.

FUNCTION BUTTONS
The buttons at the bottom of the logic design window allow control 
sequences to be created, deleted, imported from files, exported to files 
and cloned.
New
Clicking the ‘New’ button requests the initial information for a new 
control sequence design, allowing the design type, design name, 
project name, author and a description to be input.
Figure 1-5: New Control Sequence Dialog
The ‘Type’ is selected from a drop-down menu and may be either 
‘Logic Diagram’ or ‘Control Macro’.  Normally ‘Logic Diagram’ is 
selected and the control sequence created using the interactive design 
editor.
After entering the required information click on the ‘OK’ button to enter 
the Logic Maestro design environment.
The Eclipse Logic Maestro/Control Macro Editor facility is a licensable 
option and a license key is required to use Logic Maestro to create 
new control sequences.  When the logic diagram editor is first started it 
will request a license key if one has not already been input.
