Section 2: General operation
Channel patterns inherit the delay times of the individual channels that comprise the pattern. For
information on the sequence of close operations on multiple channels, refer to
for close operations
When you create a channel pattern, make sure to:
•
Include all of the channels that are needed for that channel pattern.
•
Check that channels contained in the pattern are correct.
•
Check that channels contained in the pattern create the desired path connection.
•
Make sure that channels that you want to include in the pattern are not set to forbidden to close.
When naming the channel pattern, be aware:
•
The first character of the name must be alphabetic (upper or lower case)
•
Names are case sensitive
•
Pattern names must be different than row, column, and channel labels
