Editing Channel Properties and Aliases
viewLinc allows you to edit a channel’s description, alias, and
preferred temperature units, if applicable. This is useful when
you want to easily identify a specific channel onscreen.
Note:
Depending on the device you use, not all device
channels can have their descriptions modified.
To edit channel properties:
1
From Options | System Configuration | Device Manager ,
select the Host and then the device whose channel’s
properties you want to edit.
2
Select the channel you want to edit.
3
On the
Options | Channel
menu select
Edit Channel
or
right-click and select
Edit Channel
.
4
In the Edit Channel Properties dialog box, in the Alias
text box, enter a more descriptive Alias (maximum 64
characters), if you want. This Alias will be used if you
specify in
Options | System Configuration | Preferences |
Channel Description
that viewLinc displays aliases
instead of the descriptions stored in the devices.
5
In the Description text box, enter a description (maximum
12 alpha-numeric characters).
