À savoir
Originals stay
Renaming never changes the source name, unit, timestamps or samples. Channel pickers find channels by both original and custom names.
Roles are optional
Channels without a role can still be plotted and used in formulas and tables. A role selects an input; it does not convert units or prove that values are valid.
Sampling details
The inspector shows the original name, unit, rate and sample count; Sampling details counts valid, not recorded and invalid samples.
Start over
Clear custom settings for this channel removes the custom settings of the selected channel.
