OPTIONS

2.4.3.1 Moving or Copying Text within the
Same Program

EDIT | CUT, EDIT | COPY, EDIT | PASTE, and
EDIT | CLIPBOARD allow sections of the
program to be moved or copied to another area
of the program. The following steps are
required for moving or copying sections of the
program:

(1) Either use the computer's mouse or the

<shift> and arrow keys to select all of the
text that will be moved or copied.

NOTES: You cannot move or copy
protected text (Tables, Execution Intervals).
To move or copy an Instruction, the entire
instruction, including all of the parameters,
must be selected.

(2) Select EDIT | CUT to move the text or

select EDIT | COPY to copy the text.

(3) Move the cursor to the location where the

moved or copied text will reside.

(4) Select EDIT | PASTE. The text is now

moved or copied to the designated location.

Steps 3 and 4 can be repeated allowing text to
be copied to many areas of the program.
EDIT | CLIPBOARD displays the text that is
inserted if steps 3 and 4 are repeated.

2.4.3.2 Moving and Copying Sections from
One Program to Another

The step-by-step procedure listed below uses
EDIT | CUT, EDIT | COPY, EDIT | PASTE, and
EDIT | CLIPBOARD:

(1) Load both datalogger programs onto the

computer.

(2) Either use the computer's mouse or the

<shift> and arrow keys to select all of the
text that will be moved or copied.

NOTES: You cannot move or copy
protected text (Tables, Execution Intervals).
To move or copy an Instruction, the entire
instruction, including all of the parameters,
must be selected.

(3) Select EDIT | CUT to move the text or

select EDIT | COPY to copy the text.

(4) Move the cursor to the location on the other

program where the moved or copied text
will reside.

(5) Select EDIT | PASTE. The text is now
