Renumber Electrodes

Access: In the Electrode Tree, right-click on the Electrode Level to display the popup menu and select Renumber Electrodes.

Renumber multiple electrodes in one operation.

In an Electrode project, the starting name and number for the electrodes are set in the Preferences. The Renumber Electrodes function enables you to renumber them if electrodes are deleted, mirrored, or added from a previous job. You can select some or all of the electrode names, and, among other options, redefine the prefix, starting number, and numbering increment. You can also specify that the next electrodes to be extracted should follow the new numbering scheme.

The Renumber Electrodes dialog is displayed:

Set the parameters:

Index Digits

From the dropdown list, set the number of digits to be added to the electrode name. An example result is automatically displayed in the Last Number and Example fields - see below.

Start Number

Renumber the electrodes starting with the value in this field.

When selecting multiple electrodes for renumbering, the electrodes are numbered according to the order in which they were selected in the Electrode Tree. This means that the first selected electrode will be renumbered according to the Start Number, the second and subsequent selected electrodes will be renumbered in increments based on the Step value.

Step

Renumber the electrodes in increments based on the Step value.

Last Number

This field is for reference only and displays the last number that will be given to a renumbered electrode. This value is based on the number of electrodes selected, the Start Number and the Step. The number of digits displayed is based on the Index Digits definition.
ExampleExample:

In this example 2 electrodes were selected:

  • The last number is based on the start number 1 in steps of 1 (hence Last Number = 2).

  • The number of digits displayed (in the Last Number and Example fields) is 3 (based on the Index Digits value).

In this example 2 electrodes were selected:

  • The last number is based on the start number 2 in steps of 3 (hence Last Number = 5).

  • The number of digits displayed (in the Last Number and Example fields) is 4 (based on the Index Digits value).

 

Prefix

Define a prefix for the electrode name.

An example result is automatically displayed in the Example field - see below.

Suffix

Define a suffix for the electrode name.

An example result is automatically displayed in the Example field - see below.

Include Main Assembly Name

Select this checkbox to add the main assembly name to the electrode name.

An example result is automatically displayed in the Example field - see below.

Example

This field is for reference only and displays the structure and content of the electrode name based on your definitions. The number of digits displayed is based on the Index Digits definition.
ExampleExample:

In this example the electrode name consists of the:

  • prefix
  • electrode number - see note below.

In this example the electrode name consists of the:

  • main assembly name
  • prefix
  • electrode number - see note below.
  • suffix

Note: In the Example field, the electrode number is based on the Start Number value and the Index Digits value.

Consider these changes while extracting new electrodes

Select this checkbox to ensure that subsequently extracted electrodes will be numbered and named according to the settings in this dialog. For example, if the checkbox is selected, the next extracted electrode will be numbered based on the Last Number + the increment in the Step field.

Click OK to rename all selected electrodes at once.

The electrodes will be renumbered based on the Start Number and in increments as defined by the Step value.

If any of the newly assigned names already exists as an electrode name, an appropriate message is displayed.
