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.
ATTENTION
When copying Analog Output (AO) function blocks the calibration of that channel will also be copied. You will
have to recalibrate the destination AO channel(s) after the copy is complete. See section 8.5.
Table 4-53 describes the Copy Block prompts.
