How do you get channels out of capture?

I used to run boards years ago, but I have not run one (or thought about it) in a very long time. I am working at a school with an Express 24/48. They have it set up with a dimmer per channel. When I do anything in stage it captures the channel. How do I get it to release the channel? I have been looking through the manual and have not found anything.

It is also not running the cues I set up. I am assuming it is because the channels are captured. I have a show soon so I need to figure this out.

Thanks.

Hi,

ehuber is correct, the [Rel] key is what you want. Be aware, however, that there are several levels of "release", depending on what is selected and what is designated "independent", so you may need to press it repeatedly to get rid of all the captured channels.

Thanks! That seemed to work, though I did not get much time to play yet and make sure the cues are working.

It seemed logical once you said it. Geez, I even used the word release in my question. :-D
