You use channels to send commands to external servovalves and controllers. The system software supports
the following types of channels:

Program and Control

Program with Feedback

Program-Only (requires an analog output resource)

Note:

To create a Program-Only channel, you must select an Analog Output resource from the Hardware
tab of the Output Resources list. Example: 494.46 D/A 7 S8-J2B.

Three Variable Control (optional).

Program and control channels

Program and control channels are used to maintain closed-loop control of an actuator. This channel type is
selected automatically when you allocate a valve driver resource.

Note:

FlexTest II CTM and TestStar IIs AP programmers do not typically use Program and Control channels.
