Use the Opens the Arithmetic Expression Editor to edit the expression for the specific channel by using the expression editor.

RGB-Profile File

RGB-Profile files must have the extension ".rgb". Multiple default profiles provided are located in the $S1TBX_HOME$/auxdata/rgb_profiles.
A RGB-Profile file contains several entries. The syntax of an entry is 'EntryName = EntryValue'. Normally one entry is written in one line, but you can use the '\' character to indicate that the next line also belongs to the value. Empty lines and lines beginning with the '#' character are ignored.
The possible entries for an RGB-Profile are listed in the following table:

Name Type Description
name String The name of the RGB-Profile, if given it is displayed instead of the file name.
internal Boolean The default value is false, if given and set to true it indicates that this RGB-Profile can not be deleted from the user interface (but does not prevent from overwriting the file).
red or r String The arithmetic expression used to create the red channel. This entry is mandatory.
green or g String The arithmetic expression used to create the green channel. This entry is mandatory.
blue or b String The arithmetic expression used to create the blue channel. This entry is mandatory.
