Selection Filters
By using a selection filter, you can restrict the header view to display only portions of the entire XML run header of the selected file.
At the left is a typical run header that has been expanded down to the gains for a particular shaper card. Note that the Use Filter option is not selected.
Here, note that the Use Filter option is selected and that the filter string is constructed like a file path by using forward slashes. In this case, the entire set of gains for card 1 is displayed. Note that you can drag from the header view into the filter view to add or modify a filter, but only if the Use Filter option is not selected.
By adding a channel value to the filter string, you can display just one gain value.
