If, for your multi-channel machine, you always only wish to monitor one channel, then you
can set a permanent single-channel view.
Horizontal softkeys

When selecting the block search, the multi-channel view is kept. The block display is
displayed as search window.
● Program control
The "Program Control" window is displayed for the channels configured in the multi-
channel view. The data entered here applies for these channels together.
● If you press an additional horizontal softkey in the "Machine" operating area (e.g.
"Overstore", "Synchronized actions"), then you change into a temporary single-channel
view. If you close the window again, then you return to the multi-channel view.
