In order to use your digital channels with real hardware, you must patch your channels to a DC Master.

First you must add a DC Master (see: Adding boxes)

There are two ways you can patch channels:

Channel View

• In Setup-->Channels, select the output channel you want to patch
• At the bottom you will see Patching
• Select the dropdown to choose from channels of any DC Masters you have added
• You can choose empty channels or overwrite filled ones
• You can search for channel names using the search bar
• Once patched you can unpatch from here

Ports View

• Devices-->Choose a DC Master-->Ports (ethernet icon)
• You will see a list of the 6 ports
  • The dots on the right show if anything is patched to the port. WHITE for patched. GREY for empty.
• Click on a port to see the channel list - only one channel slot will appear
• Click on the channel to see a dropdown of all suitable digital or analog output channels that can be patched
• Click one of these channels in the dropdown to patch it to that channel on the port
  • you can re-patch channels that are already patched elsewhere (it will tell you what port it is already patched to)
• You can search for channel names using the search bar
• Once patched you can unpatch from here using 'disconnect channel'
