Application Notes

For backward compatibility, this GX saves the first 2 selected lines as project variables MERGLINES.LINE1 and MERGLINES.LINE2, thus allowing scripts created in earlier versions of Oasis montaj to operate as expected in version 7.3 and later.

If the output line exists, it will be over-written.

The lines will be merges in the order they are selected. The channels in the output line will have the same start fiducial and fiducial increment as the first selected line. The channels of the subsequent lines are appended to the previous line, regardless of their Start and increment. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the channel content is properly aligned.
