Reset a channel
You can reset a channel to its factory default settings. When you reset a channel:
•
A closed channel opens
•
Additional user delay is set to zero
•
Labels return to default value
•
If the channel is forbidden to close, it is cleared from being forbidden to close
•
If the channel is used in channel patterns, the channel patterns that contain the channel are deleted.

has to be recreated before scanning again.
