DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide

Copy Project dialog

Click on the Copy Project command button (on the Main Screen) to invoke the Copy Project

dialog and save a copy of the selected file under a new name. Use the fields in this dialog to specify

a name for the copied project file (in the Job Name field), and to enter a description of the project if

desired (in the Description field).

Version Information

Program version information is located on the DXP-PRO Main screen (under the Exit button). It is

important to have the version information when calling AMX Technical Support. The version

information will allow Tech Support to determine if software updates or patches may be available.

 The top number (for example, c1.1.6) is the version number of the Configuration

Database. The Configuration Database determines what options are available in wizard

for different pieces of equipment.

 The lower number (for example, v1.1 Build 103) is the version and build number of the

actual DXP-PRO application. A change in the Version number indicates a change in the

functionality of the application. A change in the Build number indicates an enhancement

in the current functionality of the current revision. Every change to the Version number

will also change the build number, but not every change to the Build number will change

the Version number.
