Appendix B: Using the Configurator
Copy display correlations - If this box is checked the copied device(s) will have the same
display correlations as the original.
Retain Address - Check this box to retain the same addresses on the copied devices. A
message will inform the user if this is not possible. Retain Address can fail if the destination
loop controller does not have sufficient free addresses. Retain Address will always fail if the
source and destination are the same loop.
Paste Special
This dialog appears in response to a Paste Special when pasting display items, display adders
or entire annunciators.
The text summarizes what is being pasted and its destination.
e.g Copying Node 33, or Pasting 3 display items to frame 0.
• Number of copies - specifies the number of copies to make. The paste operation will
attempt to make the specified number of copies. If the capacity of the destination is
exceeded a message will be displayed to inform the user how many were successfully
made.
• Make New Copy - Choose this option to make an unrelated replica of the source.
• Copy I/O Correlations - If this option is checked, the new display item(s) will be
correlated to the same circuits and devices as the source.
• Make Reference Copy - Choose this option to make a reference copy of the source.
A regular copy is defined as follows.
• The LEDs and/or switches are copied and become separate entities from the orignal
LEDs or switches.
• Common Control Status LEDS are an exception - all similar types operate in parallel.
e.g. A copied and pasted Signal Silence would retain the internal LED Grp of the source.
• All attributes (tags, flags, etc.) are replicated.
• If IO Corrs is checked, then these too are assigned to the new copy. This is a "deep"
copy.
• If IO Corrs is not checked they are not copied. This is the "shallow" copy.
