TYPE: CHOP
TITLE: Fetch CHOP

This generator CHOP grabs channels from other OPs. It can grab either control
channels from any OP or data channels from CHOPs. Control Channels are those
channels associated with parameters. Data Channels are only present in CHOPs,
and are the channels that are output by CHOPs.

The Fetch CHOP can get the output channels from CHOPs in other CHOP networks.

The Channels parameter also supports channel groups with the syntax
@channelgroupname.

See the CHOP manuals for more explanation on the use of the Fetch CHOP.

There are no local variables.

Parameters
Source
    Node       - The Node and Channels determine where the
		 channels come from.  They are concatentated
		 together, so a channels of "tx" and a path of
		 "/obj/model" will fetch "/obj/model/tx.  They
		 also accept globbing, so a Node of /obj/* and a
		 channel of tx would select all the tx channels
		 from all the nodes inside /obj.
    Channels   - This field is appended to the specified Node to
		 complete the path. Wildcards (* and ?) and multiple
		 entries are allowed. t? implies all translate
		 channels, tx, ty, tz. Alternately, you can set
		 leave the node blank and specify the full path
		 in Channels, such as /obj/geo1/*.
    Fetch      - If fetching from another CHOP, you can fetch its
		 OP Control Channels or CHOP Data Channels. All other
		 OPs have only Control Channels, so leave this
		 menu set at "OP Control Channels".
    Select     - Fetched channels can be eliminated to include only
		 control channels that have been added, or further,
		 channels that have been added and are animating over
		 the start/end time range. Applies to OP Control Channels.

Channel
    Channel Names   - Sets how the fetched channels are named. A : is 
		      placed in the channel name where / is in the path.
	Channel Name         - Only use the name of the channel.
	OP and Channel Names - Include the parent OP name with
			       the channel name, separated by a colon (:).
	Full Path Name       - Use the full path as the name,
			       with the parts separated by a colon (:).

    Channel Range   - Indicates how much of the channel to fetch.
	Use Full Animation Range - All of the animated range.
	Use Current Frame        - Only the sample at the 
				   current frame.
	Use Start/End            - Specify the range below.

    Start           - The beginning of the fetch.                   /start
    End             - The end of the fetch.                         /end
    Sampling Method - Determines the sample rate to be used.
	New Rate (Same Index Range) - Resample to new rate below.
	Resample From Maximum Rate  - Use the highest rate found.
	Resample From Minimum Rate  - Use the lowest rate found.
    Sample Rate     - The sample to use if "New Rate" is selected,  /rate
		      or if no rates are found.
