1.2.4 The Selected Channel ............................................................

One of the channels in the Channel view is displayed with a highlighted background, indicating that it is currently the Selected Channel. 
This means that it has been assigned to the worksurface controls to the right of the screen as shown in the image below. To assign a 
channel, touch in the Output Block at the bottom of the on screen Channel view

NOTE: All of the master and under screen rotaries are encoders and switches in one unit.
Often, different functions can be accessed by a standard turn, a push turn and a push (switch)
eg Standard turn = Gain control & Push turn = Trim control
