Copying and Pasting Product Parameters
The copy-product function (highlighted below) allows you to copy the detector’s current
product settings (such as phase angle, detect level, and so on) to another similar
product. This is a very useful feature if you are testing a series of identical products, but
need to keep track of different production runs, shifts, days, and so on for quality-
assurance purposes.

Example
Imagine you are a supervisor at a dairy where milk is pasteurized, cooled, and poured
into half-gallon plastic containers. The milk is tested for metallic contaminants before
leaving the diary (because metal screens are used to filter the milk as it comes in from
the local farms in order to remove insects and other particulate matter). For quality-
assurance reasons, you need to test the output of the morning (a.m.) shift separately
from the output of the afternoon (p.m.) shift.
1)
You have already named two products, as follows. (For more information about
naming a product, see page 24).
• MILK—A.M. SHIFT
• MILK—P.M. SHIFT
2)
Currently you are testing the output from the morning (a.m.) shift, so your Main
Menu and detector settings look like this.

3)
Navigate to the copy-product function and make sure it is highlighted.
