Settings

You should enter the parameters that you want to appear in this dialog at the start of each new event in the Default Settings.

FROM/TO BOARD
Indicates the lowest and highest board no. in the set.

COPIES
You will end up with 3 duplicates of each board within the range (1-26 in the example) if you insert e.g. "3" in this field. The function is explained more in detail on the Copies page.

An asterisk in this field has the effect that there will be no limit of how many duplicates you can do.

ALL COPIES BEFORE SWITCH
This alternative is useful if you want to duplicate several boards with the same number before you switch to the next deal.

REVERSED ORDER
Tick this box if you want to start with the highest board number and then duplicate in descending order.

TYPE OF INDICES
You can disregard this setting if you use English indicies (A-K-Q-J), or barcoded cards. That is to say, you only need to set the type of indices if you use non barcoded cards with e.g. Dutch, French or German indices. You can use English indices in combination with the set type.

Note that type of language can only be set in the Default Settings. Also note that BOS must be restarted when you have changed the index type

AUTO BOARD NO.
Automatic board no. means that the board no. sticker on the back of the inserted board will govern which deal that will be duplicated. That is to say, the boards need not to be duplicated in sequence when this setting is enabled (ticked). c.f. the board number out of range page.

STOP CARD
Stop card can be used  to avoid that you mix up decks when all backs are identical. This option implies that you put an extra card between deals (preferably upside down).

DECK SORTED (chronological)
You can use this option if you must duplicate non barcoded cards with a Duplimate. Note that the output will not be cross checked by the machine unless the cards are barcoded.

The order of the cards must be: Spade Ace, King, Queen...2, Heart Ace, King...2, Diamond Ace, King...2, Club Ace, King...2. That is to say, the first card that the machine shall pick up must be the deuce of clubs and the last card (on top of the deck) the Ace of Spades.

SEALED/SHOW/EDIT
Sealed
blocks presentation of the deals on the screen and on the handrecords.

Show breaks the seal and makes the deals to appear.

Edit is required for Hand dealing, Reading and Restricted dealing. Edit also enables the alternatives that you find in the Edit menu. You are strongly advised to disable Edit while you duplicate because it can otherwise happen that you accidentally move cards from one hand to another with the cursor.

SUPPRESS CARDS
You can tick this box if you want to suppress the cards from the screen (while duplicating). Note that Ctrl+H will have the same effect.

START MAKEABLE
Start makeable should be enabled if you want to present the best contracts (which is recommended). Note that you need to start the analysis manually if you would edit analyzed deals.

DEAL & DUPLICATE
This is the recommended setting for random dealing because it offers seamless process for dealing - duplication - analysis. Note that this is the only option that enables you to duplicate. The other alternatives will create a deal file that you can later on duplicate with Deal & duplicate.

IMPORT
We suggest that you study the
Import instruction before you use this option.

HAND DEALING
You can use this option in case the players insist on hand shuffled deals. You should be aware of the fact that Hand dealing gives flatter hands than Randomizing.

Note that you can duplicate hand dealt boards by switching to Deal & duplicate once you have hand dealt the first set.

READING
Reading is useful when you want to register hand dealt deals. The deals can be duplicated, analysed, printed, etc., once they have been registered (read).

RESTRICTED DEALING
Gives you deals meeting certain criteria. Useful for teaching. cf. the instruction
