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).
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.

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.
