[Copy] Menu
Source channel (channel to copy the configuration from) must be included in the scan list before performing
this feature.
Copy/paste operation only available for channels with the similar measurement function (for example, from
DCV to DCV); where the start channel and end channel are from the similar module slot.
The [Copy] menu features will not be available when DMM Digitize is selected as the data acquisition mode.
Press [Copy] key on the front panel to copy the measurement configuration from the selected channel(s) to other
channel(s). This feature makes it easy to configure several channels for the same measurement. When you copy the
configuration from one channel to another, other configuration information such as measurement function, scaling
function, alarm configuration, and advanced measurement configurations are automatically copied to other channel
(s).
Three options are available:
Copy/paste from a single channel to a single channel (one-to-one)
For example, to copy/paste the measurement configuration from channel 01 to channel 02:
1. Press [Channel] and use the knob or the front panel arrow keys to configure channel 01 as DCV (Autorange).
2. Press [Copy] > Source Chan(s). Both Start Channel and End Channel will be displayed with the selected
channel 01 as there is no any other configured source channel except this channel. Press Done to exit this
menu.
3. Press Dest. Chan(s) to select the destination channel for the paste operation. The instrument will automatically
select the subsequent channel as default choice of destination channel. In this example, use the knob or the
front panel arrow keys to determine both Start Channel and End Channel as channel 02. Press Done to
proceed.
