Groups [Tab 17]

The group list allows viewing and editing of groups.

To open the group list you can:

  • Press [Group] [Group]
  • Press [Tab] [1] [7]

You can navigate within the group list using [Next] and [Last] or by selecting the group you want to work with.

Ordered View and Numeric View

By default, grouped channels will be displayed in ordered view. Therefore, grouped channels will appear in the order they were added to the group (see Ordered Channels). If you wish to view the channels in numeric view, press the [Format] key and the view will be switched (channels will appear in numeric order from lowest to highest).

This setting defines how channels are displayed in Group List. If left in numeric format, group selection channels will be displayed in chronological order. If left in ordered view, they will be displayed based on their order of being stored to the group.

Editing Groups from the Group List

An existing group can be modified without the need for recording or updating, as follows.

  • Select the required group by pressing [Group] [n] [Enter], or using [Next] and [Last] to navigate through the list.

The selected group is highlighted in gold.

The following actions are possible:

  • [Label] [name] [Enter] - adds or modifies a group label.
  • [Copy To] [Group] [7] [Enter] - copies the contents of the selected group to group 7.

  • [2] {Insert After} [5] [Enter] - inserts channel 2 into the group, placing it after channel 5 in the ordered view.
  • [2] [Delete] [Enter] - removes channel 2 from, the group.
  • [+] <Chan> [1][0] [Enter] - adds channel 10 to the selected group.
