clicking on "click here to add type." If clicked, one of the similar windows shown in Figure 11-12.a,
Figure 11-12.b, or Figure 11-12.c is opened. Types can also be efficiently copied to other blocks
as per Section 11.6.6.2 - Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V Char Test(TYPE): and Range Copying.

deleted.
11.6.1.3.2 Fixed Character (FC) and Single Set (SS) Sub-Types
Choosing change either FC or SS type will open respectively the following windows to allow entry
of the numeric values of these types.
The FC type choice, Figure 11-13.a, only requires one value to be entered since a Fixed Character
(FC) has the same upper and lower values. The Single Set (SS) type choice, Figure 11-13.b,
represents a single contiguous set of any length and hence requires both lower an upper bound
values. These values can be entered either as ASCII characters or pairs of hexadecimal digits.
The fuchsia color indicates that some action must be taken before proceeding.
11.6.1.3.3 Multiple Sub-Types
A given Char Test character can have up to a maximum of 10 sub-types. However, if one selects
either numerically adjoining or overlapping sub-type sets, the program automatically compresses
the sub-types.
For this example, the "Rev-" "B" Char Test(TYPE): was set to allow the characters "A", "B",
"D", or "E". This is shown in Figure 11-14.a as two SS sub-types. This could have been done by
adding three FC types for "A", "D", and "E" or two SS types ["A"-"B"] and ["D"-"E"]. However, the
program would compress the FC types to SS types as shown. As can be seen in Figure 11-14.b,
the "Rev-" Char Test(TYPE): information was changed from an FC type to a MulTiple (MT)
type.
