Important If you map an RPC Pro drive file (.seq) channel to a station channel
that supports mode switching, and the drive file units for that
channel are "%" (indicating normalized units), the file will not play
out.

File Channel/
Descriptor/Full Scale File Channel selects the file channel’s number. The Descriptor and Full Scale
values are updated with the file header values for the selected file channel. The
values are updated as you change the selected file channel. When you change
the file channel selection, the application shows the currently selected station
channel, control mode, and units to be used so that the data can be converted
into the station channel’s system units.
Station Channel Selects the station channel associated with the selected file channel. When a
drive file is read, the application looks to see if the file channel’s descriptor
matches the name of a station channel. If it does, the application maps that file
channel to the matching station channel.
Control Mode Selects the control mode associated with the selected station channel. By
default, for each file channel the application selects the first control mode
available for the associated station channel. This defines the dimension of the
signal. By default, the units for the selected control mode’s signal will be the
calibrated units defined in Station Manager. However, when the application
parses the requested drive file’s header, if the application finds that the
channel’s unit descriptor matches one of the units available for that dimension,
the application will select those units.
Channel Units Selects the units associated with the selected file channel.
