Note
Up to 32 magazines (including buffer and loading magazine) are possible, therefore a
maximum of 30 real magazines.
Creating a new magazine
Follow the steps outlined below:
1.
Press the "New" softkey. The magazine number is assigned by the system (in the order
they were created).
2. Enter the magazine name with up to 32 characters in length. If it exists, the display text is
immediately displayed from patm_xx.ini.
3. Select the magazine type:
–
Chain magazine
– Revolver
– Flat magazine
4. Enter the number of magazine locations.
5. For box magazines, the "number of columns" must be entered too.
6. Accept the data with the "OK" softkey.
Note
If the message "invalid value in magazine" appears, the number of locations and/or
number of columns is incorrect. The "number of locations" value must be divisible by the
"number of columns".
Example: 20 locations cannot be divided into 3 columns, but 21 locations can be.
Deleting a magazine:
1.
Select the magazine name.
2. Press the "Delete" softkey.
The magazine is deleted without a prompt.
Note
A magazine can only be deleted if it is not assigned to any magazine configuration.
