IMPORTING AND EXPORTING SPLCD PAGES
Different types of components will sometimes use similar page layouts. That is, devices with Motion Control
(Play, Stop, Pause, etc) use similar button layouts as will Tuning devices for Ch+, Ch-, Numeric entry, etc.
Universal Dragon allows Pages to be ‘copied’ and ‘saved’ (Export) and then reused (Import) for other devices
within a given Project or in a completely separate Project, saving valuable programming time, by not having to
recreate every Page for every device in every Project.
NOTE:
A Page Exported with IR or RS232 Commands already programmed will retain that programming. When
the Page is later Imported, it will still have all IR/RS232 programming intact.
