• Make New Copy - Choose this option to make an unrelated replica of the
source.
o Copy I/O Correlations - If this option is checked, the new display item(s) will
be correlated to the same circuits and devices as the source.
• Make Reference Copy - Choose this option to make a reference copy of the
source.
A regular copy is defined as follows.
• The LEDs and/or switches are copied and become separate entities from the
original LEDs or switches.
• Common Control Status LEDS are an exception - all similar types operate in
parallel. e.g. A copied and pasted Signal Silence would retain the internal LED
Grp of the source.
• All attributes (tags, flags, etc.) are replicated.
• If IO Corrs is checked, then these too are assigned to the new copy. This is a
"deep" copy.
• If IO Corrs is not checked they are not copied. This is the "shallow" copy.
A Reference copy is defined as follows.
• New LEDs and switches are defined, but they are linked closely to the original
source.
• If any 3 POSITION SLIDE SWITCH is encountered while attempting a "Reference
Copy" of individual items, a complete adder or an entire annunciator, an error
message is displayed and a roll back of the operation occurs.
• Both the new copy and the source (and any subsequent reference copies) will be
marked with an asterisk to warn the user that the items are 'linked" or cross
referenced. A change to one (e.g. addition of CORRS) affects the others.
