Disabling a Channel
To change Channel Settings deactivate the desired Channel(s) by unchecking the corresponding checkbox(es) on the left side of the Config Panel.
Deactivating a Channel will make it unavailable in connected Just In User Interfaces and the channel will also disappear from the Channel List within the Connection Tab in the Inspector.
