Use this procedure to copy instrument type profile data from one instrument type to another. This procedure is useful when you want to define instrument types with similar profile properties. This way you do not need to define all the profile data for a new instrument type from scratch. After completing this procedure, you can access the profile associated with the target instrument type and change the required properties.
-
On the Instrument Index module menu bar, select Tables > Instrument Types.
-
From the Process function list, select the process function that you require.
-
Select Profile.
-
On the Instrument Type Profile dialog, select Copy From to open the Copy Instrument Type Profile Data dialog.
-
From the Process function list, select the required process function.
-
In the data window, select the instrument type whose profile data you want to copy.
-
Select OK to reopen the Instrument Type Profile dialog, where you can view the new profile properties.
-
Define the instrument type profile as you require.
-
If you want to copy the specification profile properties, note that both the source and the target instrument type must belong to the same process function. When the source and the target instrument type belong to different process functions, the system copies the data without the specification profile properties.
-
When copying instrument type profile settings, the software ignores the definitions on the Calibration profile tab.
