Automatic terminal numbering

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I have a couple of queries regarding the automatic labeling of terminals.

 

1) Is there a way to tell ACADE that I wish to insert multiple terminals with the same terminal number without having to manually enter it? When I insert terminals they automatically increment - which is great in some cases - but in some cases I would like to insert multiple 'G" terminals for example. Each new terminal defaults to 'H".

 

2) Is there away to increment the first character of a terminal number while leaving the second character the same. For example, if I wish to enter terminals 1P, 2P, 3P... By default ACADE will enter 1P and then 1Q and not 1P and then 2P. The format I am looking for is %NP.

 

Maybe this is possible in the TSE? I am still learning the functionality of this so maybe I have missed it somewhere. Thanks in advance.

1) No, there's no way to stop the autoincrement of the terminal number. The best workaround I can think of is to click the "used terminal number" to duplicate it:

2) Unfortunately, it's not possible to change the terminal numbering "formula". It increments from the end to the front of the string. I guess using the export/import to/from Excel would be the way to go to achieve this.
