Synchronizing programs

Using the synchronized view, you have the possibility of obtaining an overview of the time
sequence of a program. In this case, program instructions are evaluated to coordinate channels
and are arranged in parallel in the editor view.
As a result of the synchronized view of the programs, you can easily identify at which locations
the programs are synchronized in the various channels.
