The Channel Control sub panel is used to select the Maestro channel (Pro-

The buttons on this panel (except the clock/timer controls) are configured
using the Channel Delegation and Channel Delegation Control menus. In

automatically.

In multi-channel systems, the channels are grouped into three banks of four

channels to appear on the four LCD buttons. The operator would then
press an LCD button to take control of (“delegate”) that channel.
