Duplicating Target Components

Target components can be copied by selecting Target | Duplicate, or by selecting the item in the Target Components List with the right mouse button, and then selecting Duplicate.

When duplicating an object, a new target component appears in the Target Components List with a name similar to the original object, but with a number appended to it (as all target components must have unique names). The target parameters of the new component are identical to those of the original. They can then be changed by editing the parameters.

Copying Between Different VISRAD Applications

It is also possible to copy Target Components from one VISRAD application to another by dragging with the mouse. To do this, select one or more items in the Target Components List of one application, and drag them into the Target Components List of the second application. When doing this:

• if a folder is selected, the folder with all of its contents is copied
• since VISRAD requires unique names for Target Components and unique names for folders of a given parent folder, target component and folder names will automatically be adjusted when name clashes occur (e.g., "Backlighter" will become "Backlighter_2").
• when the reference coordinate system for a Target Component is another Target Component:
  • if the reference Target Component is also being copied during the same drag operation, the reference object will remain the same
  • if the reference object is not being copied, the reference coordinate system will be set to the Target Chamber
• in cases when the Target Chamber is different between the two VISRAD applications (e.g., NIF vs. OMEGA), when the reference coordinate system is a Diagnostic Port or a Target Mount, the reference coordinate system will be set to the Target Chamber.
