Change scale of segmented field
When you have defined a segmented field you can enlarge or
reduce it in scale.
•
Choose
Edit - Select All
to select all the points in the field.
•
Pick up one of the points with the mouse and drag the field
to the size you want.
Each point is dragged on a measuring ray of the sensor away
from or toward the zero as appropriate.
Copy and paste fields
You can copy fields to the clipboard and paste them at a
different location, for example when you need several similar
protective fields or warning fields. But you cannot mix field types:
you can only paste a protective field back in as a protective field,
and a warning field as a warning field.
•
From the menu choose
Edit - Copy
to copy the current field
to the clipboard.
•
From the Active Field list select another field of the same
type (protective field or warning field).
•
Choose
Edit - Paste
to paste the field from the clipboard.
You can then edit the field you have just pasted as normal.
Save individual fields
You can save individual fields as files so they are available to be
used in other configurations.
•
Choose
Edit - Copy To
and save the current field under the
desired file name on the hard disk or on a floppy.
•
To insert the stored field at the desired location, such as in
another configuration, choose
Edit - Paste From
and enter
the file name and storage location.
The field is inserted. You can then edit the field as normal.
