In the macro I have to use all the outputs but I have to specify the related port.


You are getting confused between port + pins and outputs.

Mach3 macros use OUTPUTS.

in Mach3 you define the ports and pins as OUTPUTS in the configuration tab.

whichever ports and pins you define as whichever corresponding outputs those numbers (i.e. OUTPUT1, OUTPUT2..... OUTPUT14) is what you toggle in your macro.

Read Gerrys post earlier.
