Acquiring Profile Channels
First, you must acquire one or more Profile channels. The single channel tab
labeled Channel A is the default. You can change the name of the channel by
entering a new name in the Name text box. Channel names can have up to 32
characters, but a shorter name is recommended for readability.
Depending on your system, you can configure up to four channels; however,
some systems only have two channels (ports). To add a channel, click the
Add
Channel button. To remove a channel, click the Remove Channel button. One
channel is always visible.
If no resources are selected for a channel, the channel tab icon is dimmed. If no
port is available, a red X appears in the channel tab.
If a resource such as a video input is available, the box next to its name is not
checked and its name is not dimmed. If it in use, its name is dimmed. If it is in
conflict, that is, in use by another application or channel, its name is red. If it
has been acquired, the box next to its name is checked.
NOTE: The default channel type is a JPEG player/recorder. This is
the only choice available at this time.
The channel tabs in Tool Box Editor also show results from changes you make
in Resource Manager, as shown in Figure 103.
