There is a lot of information about XChange 2 and how to manipulate it in the 3030 Resources Forum. You may need to do a Search. There are also Instructional Videos that show how to work in XChange 2 as well. Tap the search tab and then Approved Instructional Video tab will be on the page where you enter what you are searching for.
 
I AM LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD STEP BY STEP AND THE RESOURCE CENTER DOES NOT SHOW THE FIRST STEPS . WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR
IS HOW TO SAVE AND COPY INTO THE CTX AND EDITING THOSE MODES AGAIN WITH OUT MAKING 2 MODES IF POSSIBLE. I AM PUTTING LOTS OF MODES IN TRASH CAN AND I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY AROUND??

If you have edited an existing program, you can simply save those changes to the file name of the old one. If, however you want to save the old one like it was, and edit it to build a new one, you will have to use "save as" and give the new one a file name. When you save a newly created mode in XChange2,it should appear in the ALL file. Drag a copy of that program to the FILE category......then drag it from File to your CTX icon. (If you have already set up a Collection file, it should appear there). Make sure you don't turn off the CTX until after you've removed the USB cable, and the changes have been made in the CTX.

To "share" settings with a new program using the CTX 3030, select the Search mode with the Pattern you want to duplicate, make the other changes you want, use SAVE AS (instead of SAVE) and it will save as a new Search Mode.
If you're in XChange2, pull up the one you are wanting to copy, make the changes you want, give it a new name, and save it. Then you can download it into the CTX 3030 with a name on it instead of a number. Or, from XChange2, you can export the program with the new settings you want into your PC, change the file name via your PC and import it back into XChange2 under the new file name. Then you can make the other tweaks you want by using XChange2. OR, you could export the program with the new settings you want into your PC, change the file name via your PC, import it back into your XChange2, load it into your CTX 3030, select that new program, make the additional changes you want..... then SAVE those changes to that new program.


If you do a Search of this forum, you will find quite a few discussions regarding how to import/export programs. Here is a link to the one I took some of the above information from.... http://www.findmall.com/read.php?86,1765709,1765709#msg-1765709 Just pull it up and follow the responses.

On the Resource Center, topic: The first group of Minelab/Findmall Instructional Videos are up..., you will find a video called Making a New Search Program in Xchange 2. This video demonstrates how to save a new program.
