K3 Programming & macros

Can a macro be executed from a program?
Thanks,

You mean like the K3 Utility Command tester? Sure, tap or hold the relevant
key with an SWT or SWH command.

No, from a program I wrote.

If you assign, for example, the PF1 function to a macro, then you can send
the string "SWH45;" command from your program (or my program!) to simulate
HOLDing the PF1 key. I just tried it. The macro executed, and its label
appeared in VFO B.

Sure.
I have several macros in the Commander module of DXLab that control the K3.
As a fact of fact, the are 2 sliders built into Commander for the filters.
There 16 buttons and 4 sliders that can be programmed for use from the
Commander.
Great tool.

Kewl! What's the button numbering scheme? I think I saw somewhere in the
macro thread that it's row,column. Where does that count from? Can all
the buttons be accessed this way?

Hi Mike,

see page 17 of http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Pgmr%27s_Ref_Rev_C6.pdf

Hope this "table 6" can answer SWT/H mapping scheme.
