Notes
To copy a block of messages, move the cursor to the first message on the
block and press
[CTRL][B] to mark the beginning of the block. Then move
the cursor to the last message in the block and press [
↵
] . The entire block
will be moved to the opposite column.
If you leave the increment set to 0, the spacing between messages will be
retained . For example, copying message numbers 1, 3, and 7 to message
number 10 with an increment of 0 will result in new copies with message
numbers 10, 12, and 16.
If any of the destination message numbers you have assigned are already
being used for an existing message, the software will display a warning
message. You can cancel the copy, continue and overwrite the selected
existing message, skip this message, or continue and overwrite all existing
messages.
If adding new messages would exceed the capacity of your DL40, the
software will display a warning message and automatically cancel the copy
function.
Messages will be copied with the following conditions:
•
Messages selected for copying appear on the Message Picks list in the
order they were selected. They do not need to be listed in numeric order.
The message with the lowest number will always be copied to the Start
number, the message with the next lowest number will be copied to the
first Increment number, and so on.
•
In any of the destination message numbers are already in use by an
existing message, a warning will appear and give you a chance to cancel
