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.
You require the "programSYNC" option for the multi
-channel block
search and
the multi-channel program control in the multi-channel editor.
