Deleting a Timer Channel

To delete a Timer channel:

Note - You can only access this function if you have the Can access Timer permissions. You can only add or update a timer if you have the Can configure permission. If you need to access these functions and do not have permission, please contact your system administrator.

Note - If a Timer is assigned to a Group, the output records in .uhh file format on the device. If you delete a Timer channel it is automatically removed from any associated recording Group. Historical data for that Timer is available on the device or via Data Reviewer, but recreating a timer with the same descriptor does not reinstate the link to the historical data.
