# Channel Naming

The **MULTI Channel Namer** LUA script can be used to automatically name the channels of any model which is configured with a MULTI-Module protocol.

The script uses the configured protocol, a database containing the channel assignments for each protocol, and the module's configured [Expected Channel Order](https://www.multi-module.org/channel-order#expected-channel-order) to name all the channels according to their specified use.

The script makes it extremely easy to assign the correct inputs to each channel by matching inputs to the named outputs.
