Example
Your machine has 6 channels.
You configure channels 1 - 4 for the multi-channel view and define the display sequence (e.g.
1,3,4,2).
In the multi-channel view, for a channel switchover, you can only switch between the channels
configured for the multi-channel view; all others are not taken into consideration. Using the
<CHANNEL> key, advance the channel in the "Machine" operating area - you obtain the
following views: Channels "1" and "3", channels "3" and "4", channels "4" and "2". Channels
"5" and "6" are not displayed in the multi-channel view.
In the single-channel view, toggle between all of the channels (1...6) without taking into account
the configured sequence for the multi-channel view.
