purpose of the indicator is to tell the operator that the signal on that channel is in
use elsewhere, and that logic control for the signal is owned by some other channel
in the system. Operators should be made aware that logic associated with a signal
will not act as expected when the logic lock indicator is ON.

A RED dot indicates that processing is active on that channel.

When viewing the Input tab on the VGA screen, the CHANNEL STATUS

buttons can also be used to select the channel that settings are displayed for.
