CPY(DATACOPY)
AvaluablefeatureoftheRDS8000istheDataCopyFunction.Withthisfunction,theentiresetofcontrol
parametersforoneaircraftcanbe‘copied’fromonemodelset-upintoanother.Forinstance,ifyouhave
youraircraftprograminModel#1andnothinginModel#3,youcancopytheModel#1programintoModel
#3withthecopyfunction.
Havingcopiedyourcontrolset-up,youcannowuseMSL(ModelSelect)toaccesstheModel#3program
andthenmakecontrolchangestothat set-up.Thisallowsyoutoexperimentwithdifferentcontrol options
withoutchangingyour originalparameters(inthisexampleModel#1).
TousetheCPY(copy)function,select“etc”ontheChannelindicatorusingeitherthe(CH–)or(CH +)key.
NotethatyoumustbeontheSTWscreentomovehorizontallyacrossthescreento“etc”.
PresstheFUNCTIONdownkeytoselect theCPY(copy)Function.
Forthisexample,assumeyouwanttocopytheset-upofModel#1(whichyouselected),toModel#3.The
firstnumberonthescreenindicatesthemodelnumberyouarecopying.Thesecondnumber indicatesthe

Onthepreviousscreen,thedestinationhasbeensettoModel#3.MAKECERTAINthatthecurrentmodel
setupisnotoneyouwishtosave,becausewhenyoucopytheModel#1set-upintoModel#3,alldatathat
wasinModel#3isreplacedwiththeModel#1data!AtthispointModel#3dataisstillintact,soifyouwish
tochangethedestinationforthecopieddata,dosobeforeproceeding.
Havingselectedboththedatasource(Model#1)andthedesired destination(inthisexampleModel#3),you
cannowproceed toconfirmthecopyfunction.
