Ranges and Targets

A range consists of a starting and ending letter in the range of A thru R, where subsequent actions become effectual.    It can use the hyphen as a separator.  Example: K-N.
Or it can SOMETIMES be explicit;   KLMN.

There are 4 places where RANGES can be specified.

Three of them are involved in creating your animesh:

1 – FileCopier
2 – Replicator
3 –  SmartDancer Controller

These 3 always use the hyphenated version.  Ranges for the FileCopier and Replicator are specified in the Description fields. .  It is good practice to specify a single letter range thusly:
Example: J-J.

*********************************
Changing the SmartDancer Controller range:

An exterior range is specified in the SmartDancer Controller by changing the 5th and 6th position of the object-name using lower-case letters. Valid letters are a thru r.  This range can be further delimited during the execution phase by using the Target command. Target specifies a range for which subsequent actions will affect.

Example:  PE18j-r

Press the Reset button on the SmartDancer Controller after changing its name

*********************************
Changing the FileCopier range:

Press the [UPDATE] button.

Press the [RANGE] button.

Type in a hyphenated Range then press Submit

Then as a precaution, press the Reset button.
Your new range should show up in the
HoverText as confirmation.

*********************************
Changing the REPLICATOR range:

You must MANUALLY change the DESCRIPTION field in the replicator.

After changing the description field, you must press the Reset button.

Current RANGE to REPLICATE or KILL or CLEAN: ==> N-P

REPLICATE makes copies of the embedded Animesh inside the replicator

KILL_MESH deletes the Animesh.

CLEAN_MESH deletes the contents of the animesh without deleting the Animesh
