sync1 
Definition of search string. The following syntax applies: 
 *  Wildcard; text replaced by ´*´ must be the same in all channels. 
 n  Identification by means of a number , e.g., WAITM(*n,1,2,3)  
   Wait marks can be assigned using this number. 
 *c  Channel number, these numbers does not have to be in the same order  
   The program coordination channel does not have to be specified.  
  (e.g.:  WAITM(1,*c,*c,*c). 
#  Channel separators: Text before
 separator is searched for in one channel,  
Text after
 separator is searched in all other channels. These synchronization  
marks cannot be synchronized with each other. 
 
sync1_Ico 
Associated icon, it must be located in the directory that was specified in IconPath. 
 
sync1_Chans 
Here, it can be specified whether the associated synchronization marks will be 
searched for in certain channels only. If no entry is made, the search will be carried 
out in all channels or in those that are specified if *c was configured. 
 
Example: 
M4711 is a synchronization that affects Channel 1, 2, and 6 only. The entry must 
be made as follows: 
 
sync2 = M4711 
sync2_Ico = clock.bmp 
sync2_Chans = 1,2,6 
 
 
[Old_or_User_Cycles_User] 
Machine manufacturers can enter their expansions for their own cycles here.  
 
Examples: 
 
  Cycle1 = Cycle* 
  Cycle1_Type = 1 
  Cycle1_Ico = cycle.bmp 
 
  Cycle2 = Pocket* 
  Cycle2_Type = 1 
  Cycle2_Ico = cycle.bmp 
 ... 
 
CycleX 
Definition of cycles without graphical support. Subprogram calls can also be 
entered here. A language-specific text can also be specified. X stands for a cycle 
number, which must be the same over three associated entries.
