    I attended one of the first training courses on the control back in the early 90's, all the course books showed an initial printing of 1992.
    AFAIK it has always had macroB.

    The 15-A control was introduced at the 1988 IMTS in Chicago and we took the first machine builder orders early in 1989. End users would have first seen it in late 89 / early 1990. As Al mentioned, the 15 always had the macro option but they called it Custom Macro (as they also did in the Series 10, 11 and 12 controls). Custom Macro B was the equivalent feature that was offered in the Series 0 controls. Custom Macro A was also a parametric programming feature offered in the Series 0 but the language was a bit different.
