7.3. DAS CHANNELS
The key to the flexibility of the DAS is its ability to store a large number of
combinations of triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels.
Users may create up to 20 data channels and each channel can contain one or more
parameters. For each channel, the following are selected:
One triggering event is selected
Up to 50 data parameters, which can be the shared between channels.
Several properties that define the structure of the channel and allow the user to
make operational decisions regarding the channel.
