stations chosen to the Source desired. The selected group will follow.

It’s easy to un-patch a station, that is, to return a connected station to non-

Right-click on the desired station and select Disconnect
Or
Left click on the desired station and drag it to the Non-Connected pane
The conventions for selecting multiple stations, if desired, described in
patching multiple stations, also apply here.

You don’t need to do anything special to save a patch as everything you do is
saved to your computer’s hard disk as you work. To create backups, see

You’ve now completed the basics of creating a patch. In the chapters ahead
we’ll discuss how to get your patch information from DMXQConnect to the
DMXPathfinder as well as system configuration.
