Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Multi-Unit Cascading 200
Distinguishing Multiple Units
Device Color
Each unit in the Devices list is color coded for enhanced identification. These colors are
used in the Meter Bridge and the I/O Matrix Panel when multi-unit cascading to differen-
tiate between devices. The device colors cannot be modified.
Device Name
When using multiple devices of the same type, it may be helpful give each device a
unique Device Name instead of the default names. The Show Device Names setting is
particularly useful with multiple devices.
