What do we all think about empty zone/station names? I get that they are just an attribute but given the ways we want to present data it seems odd to allow for empty names?

Also – the current code is highly optimized (which I appreciate) and assumes that zone/station limits are on the boundary of how many expansion boards you have. That seems odd – especially if you have 18 real zones, but have to see 24 in the UI. I’ve taken to using the name ‘Unused’ for unused zones, for example.

Is it worth investing in specifying a zone limit value and then restricting the display to that? I was thinking of changing the options page to input the # of zones, deriving the # of expansion boards from that, and letting the core code keep using number of boards but changing the UI pages to restrict to a specific # of zones.
