Single-channel view 
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 
●  Block search 
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. 
Switching between single- and multi-channel view 
 
 
Press the <MACHINE> key in order to briefly switch between the single-
and multi-channel view in the machine area. 
 
 
 
Press the <NEXT WINDOW> key in order to switch between the upper 
and lower window within a channel column. 
Editing a program in the block display 
 
 
You can perform simple editing operations as usual with the <INSERT> 
key in the actual block display. 
If there is not sufficient space, you switch over into the single-channel view. 
Running-in a program 
You select individual channels to run-in the program at the machine.
