6.7.2.10. Disabling/Enabling Data Channels

Data channels can be temporarily disabled, which can reduce the read/write wear on the disk-on-chip. The

ALL_01 channel of the M360E, for example, is disabled by default.

To disable a data channel, follow the instruction shown in Section 6.7.2.2 then press:
