Creating Module Labels

A Module label allows you 
to label a row of fuses of 
varying widths. You set the 
width of a fuse and the

to adjust the width of 
individual modules as necessary.

multipliers to increase the size of any individual 
modules that are larger. The default fuse length 
is 1.0” (25.4 mm).

Changing the Label Type

Once you create a label using one label type, you 
can easily change the label type without losing 
your data. 
If the data from one label type will not fit in the 
new label type, the text that will not fit is shaded 
in the display.

Example:

 When you change from a multi-cell 

label, such as a Patch Panel, to a single cell label, 
such as General or Flag, each cell becomes a new 
label. All blank cells are deleted.

When you change from a multi-cell label type 

to another multi-cell label type, make sure the new 
label type contains the same number of cells.

To change the label type

1. Press the hot key for the new label type.
2. Make any necessary adjustments to the settings 

for the label type.
