The addition of a channel on the Parabolic SAR is the basis for the Channel On Parabolic Metatrader 5 forex indicator.
The added channel is ZigZag and not fixed, and has sliding threshold that is calculated by the Parabolic SAR.
This gives the MT5 indicator a sense of trailing threshold (stops) instead of fixed thresholds (stops).
The setting for the indicator are in line with the default input for the Parabolic SAR i.e. Step and Maximum.
Asides this, there is an added restriction with the minimum available width of the channel to eliminate thin market (normally set in points).
