  The multi Channel Selector allows the window to join multiple Channels simultaneously to which it can subscribe and publish data unrestrictedly.
  The directional multi Channel Selector allows the window to join multiple Channels, but also enables the user to restrict the window from publishing or from subscribing to the currently joined Channels.
