Precondition 
●  Multi-channel machine 
●  You have selected the multi-channel view via "Settings for channel functionalities". 
Procedure 
 
  1.  Select the "AUTO" operating area. 
 
2.  Press the "Prog. ctrl." softkey. 
 
  The "Program control - General" window appears on the screen. 
 
3.  Press the "Run-in" softkey. 
The "Program control - Running-in" window is displayed.

9.2.11.2  Block search and program control 
You define a group of channels that belong to one another from the "Settings for Multi-
channel Functionality" window. Here, you specify which channel numbers should be 
displayed for a multi-channel view.      
This group results in a common behavior for a block search and for program control.  
Vertical softkeys for a block search 
●  The "Block search" and "Search mode" functions act on all channels, which you 
configured for the multi-channel view. 
●  All other vertical softkeys (e.g. "Search text", "Interrupt position", etc.). act on the current 
program. 
If you selected the single-channel view in the multi-channel function settings, then all of the 
actions only act on the actual channel. 
 
 
Software options 
You require the "programSYNC" option for the multi-channel block search and 
the multi-channel program control in the multi-channel editor.
