4.17 Copy Block
Use Copy Block to copy the setup of any function block to another channel of the same function block.
For example, if you have programmed AI1 and want AI2 to have the same settings, use Copy Block. If
desired, you can make program changes to AI2 after the copy is complete.
If your instrument can run multiple profiles at the same time, Copy Block is useful for copying the
parameters of one profile to another. For example, if your instrument can run 2 profiles, it may be useful
to have both profiles use the same switches for starting, holding, and resetting. After you program the
first profile’s parameters, use Copy Block to copy Profile #1 to Profile #2.
Table 4-53 describes the Copy Block prompts.
