the display text and settings, the entire D-8000 console can be configured
to suit your application. Remember, you must select a channel to be
modified before you can make changes, and you must “Write Current” after
making the changes to pass them on to the console.
Advanced Operation
After using the VDip program for a while, its operation becomes
routine. There are some advanced features to make it easier to do repetitious
tasks. Underneath the top menu bar of the status screen is a row of “buttons”
designed to perform routine tasks like “Write Current” and “Read Current”.
Moving your mouse pointer over a button and leaving it there for a moment
will bring up a short “hint” message on screen that explains the button’s
function. Also, under the “Console Configuration” and “Slot Configura-
tion” menus (under “File”) are functions called “Save To File” and “ Load
From File”. Choosing “Save To File” allows you to save all of the console
settings under a filename which you can retrieve later using the “Load From
File” function. This makes it easy to recall complex but repeatable text and
settings information into the console, especially if you name the file
something obvious like “7am”, etc.
