We could optionally turn these VeriStand channels into controls (outputs) to allow the user to override the values either set or calculated for the actual bits sent with the label. However, during our discussion on this topic, it was decided to remove the ability to create the channels for Tx HW Channels. If needed, that decision can be re-evaluated in the future.
