Adding or Deleting Channels

To add channels to a sequence that has existing channels choose the Manage Channels tab and then select Manage Raw Channels (See Figure 1-22).

Figure 1-22. In this example we will add 16 channels after channel 16. In Figure 1-23 channels 16 through the last channel were selected. ON the lower left there is an entry for Renumber Selected Channels Starting with This #. In this example we chose channels 17 through the last channel we would like to renumber them to start at 33 (the next number after the 16 outputs channels we will be adding). The we clicked on the Renumber Selection button.

Figure 1-23. Figure 1-24 shows the result. Notice that Output 17 is now channel 33. Also notice channel 16 is output 16. We now have a 16 channel gap.

Figure 1-24. Next we will add 16 channels (see Figure 1-25). Note that 16 was entered in the Number of Channels Add Replace Value box. Notice also that the universe is 1 and the Starting Channel # was set to 17.

Figure 1-25. Figure 1-26 shows that the channels were added and numbered correctly but they were added at the end. If you click on the Renumber all Channels for Output button the channels will be put in the correct order in the list. 17-32 will appear right after 1-16.

Figure 1-26.

Figure 1-27. Deleting Channels Channels can be deleted one at a time. To delete a channel choose the Manage Channels tab and then select Manage Raw Channels. Right-click on the channel number that you would like to delete (channels are deleted one at a time) in the left-most column in the Manage Raw Channels screen (see Figure 1-28). Then click on the Yes button if you are really sure you want to delete the channel.
