This would be similar to a channel annotation. Although I do set the logicalchannel.name in the database if its present, our design encourages users to put annotations on the channels, so don't think we've ever displayed the channelname in insight.</div><div><br></div><div>Values like 'BlackPoint' and 'WhiteColor' are cutoff values used by Volocity's rendering settings.
