Chapter 4 Options
When the Instrument Library contains one or more Company or Project Instruments, the
tree diagram in the Instrument Library dialog can be opened to show the instrument
names similar to the way Windows Explorer shows file names.
For example, open or close the Company Instruments tree by double-clicking its title, or
by pressing the [+] or [-] tree item. With all trees open, the instrument list tree diagram
shown below contains two Company instruments and one Project instrument.
Note that “Default Settings” are also shown here for Company and Project defaults.
Although their instrument settings can also be viewed and edited from this dialog, you
normally view or edit them in the Company or Project Options dialogs.
Editing an Instrument – Edit any established instrument in the library by highlighting its
name and pressing the Edit button, or by simply double-clicking its name. The same
settings dialog appears. Make changes to its settings and press OK to save.
Deleting an Instrument – Highlight an instrument in the tree and press the Delete button.
You will be asked to confirm.
Copying Settings From – When creating a new instrument, settings are copied from the
current Company Defaults unless you specify otherwise. If you want to use settings from
an existing instrument as the starting settings, first highlight the desired instrument and
press the “Copy From” button, and then create your new instrument.
Copying Settings To – To copy settings from one instrument to another, first assure the
“Copy From” instrument is the one you want to copy settings from, then highlight the
instrument you want settings copied to, and press the “Copy To” button.
