Main window of a DupliKey36 (20 ports hub + 16 ports hub)

Please note that displaying a 40 devices list needs a minimal resolution of 1650 x 1080 
pixels. In case of a 60 ports configuration, the screen height should be at least 1500 pixels, 
else a scroll bar appears.

• The devices list:

 According to the selected options in the “Preferences” window, 

the

 

activated devices are displayed in this list. Each device is described as follow: line 

number, volume name and volume letter, total space size, available space  size and used 
space size of the volume and a specific column for the returned messages and progress 
bars. The checkbox on the left lets you select USB devices to be formatted, renamed or 
duplicated. To select a device, click into its checkbox.

The « Edit/Mark up to X volumes » menu or

 Ctrl-T shortcut 

is selecting the volumes in 

the list up to 60 (according to DupliKey version). Use the same way to undo this 
function (« Edit/Unmark all volumes »). In addition, the “Mark up to XX volumes” 
checkbox forces the automatic selection of any volume present or which will be 
plugged in, within the limit of XX volumes (from 7 to 60, according to the software 
version). As soon as a volume is manually unmarked, the box is also unchecked. 
This

 

procedure avoids having to recheck manually volumes in the list, at the beginning of 

each task. 

Following devices are displayed in this list:

- Every USB volume correctly formatted, excluding devices without volume like CD or 
DVD-ROM drives without inserted media, FlashCard reader without card. Its serial 
number (if any) is displayed in the message area.
