The channel button popup menu
Change Name
This option from the channel/RGB channel button popup menu can be used to change the name of the channel or RGB channel. The name will be displayed in various places, including on the channel or RGB channel's button.
Change Color
This option from the channel button popup menu can be used to change the color assigned to the channel (it is unavailable for RGB channels). Note that this has no effect on your actual lights, and that it is not necessary to set the color of the channel to match the color of the actual lights hooked up to the channel. However, doing so may be convenient. For example, the Sequence Editor will use the assigned color to display lighting effects in the sequence's grid.
Change Channel Settings / Change RGB Channel Settings
This option from the channel/RGB channel button popup menu opens the Channel Settings dialog or the RGB Channel Settings dialog, which can be used to modify various properties of the channel or RGB channel, such as a channel's name, color, unit ID and circuit ID.
Test Physical Channel On/Off
This option will test the currently selected channel by turning it fully on or off. The channel will need to have all of its settings defined, the devices connected and powered up, and the Sequence Editor must be able to talk to your devices - either directly or through the Comm Listener.
This command can also be used on RGB channels and other channel groups; it will cause all channels within the selected group to be turned on or off.
See also Test Track's Physical Lights on the track grid's right-click context menu.
