7 Merge: the merge function is useful to import a parameters configuration from a old mcxs file into a new one. Fig 5 [File menu - Merge] The common use of the merge function is to import the configuration already set for one application, in the configuration file of the newest application version. The procedure for using the merge function is the following: 1. Open the new mcxs file. 2. Select the merge function from the File Menu. 3. Select "load file" for choosing the mcxs file to merge. With the basic option (without flags in the Dictionary Options ), the parameters value of the old file will overwrite the parameters value in the new file. The parameters description remains the one present in the new file. 4. Click on the Apply button. At the end of the procedure there will be a windows of summary. Other options can be used to import from the old file the Menu Dictionary, The Parameter Dictionary, The Alarms Dictionary, The String Dictionary, the I/O Dictionary and the labels: select these options only if you want to overwrite the descriptions of the new file with the descriptions present in the old file (not recommended).
