Copy a Library Preset
Dual PowerLab 8x2 is equipped with up to 50 Library Presets. A Library Preset (which
you can’t change) is a starting point for creating your own User Preset (which you can
change). FMA configures Library Presets with optimal charge characteristics for a variety
of battery chemistries and charging strategies. You can replace an existing User Preset
with a Library Preset, or
—if less than 25 User Presets are installed—you can create a
new User Preset from a Library Preset. After you load a Library Preset into a User
Preset slot, you can change its properties.
Tip:
You can also use the Charge Control
show, re-arrange, copy and modify presets.
Note:
If the
Preset Changes Always Save?
option is set to
Y
in Dual
, or if the
Save Preset Changes done at PowerLab
option is enabled in the CCS
, and if CCS is running and
communicating with Dual PowerLab 8x2, cleared and copied presets are
reflected in the CCS
Tip:
The CCS has better tools for managing presets (see
Deleting a preset at the Dual PowerLab 8x2, for example, leaves an empty
preset location. In contrast, the CCS lets you hide presets, which can reduce
the number of visible presets to a manageable level without actually deleting
the preset.
