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.

Identifying program errors
The error can only be identified if the appropriate program is displayed. If a WAIT mark
involves a channel to which a program is not assigned in the job list, then this is marked as
having an error.
If you have enabled the synchronized view, then the following symbols are displayed at the
top right in the program title bar:
