'name' is limited to 9 characters per channel due to the screen constraints of 80 column diplays for onscreen counters. HISTORY This command was added in OPCS version K2.00/TC (Turbo C). Older versions (K1.xx) used STARTUP.DEFS which was obsoleted in K2.00, and in many cases hard-coded names were used instead.
