Example
Your machine has 6 channels.
You configure channels 1 - 4 for the multi-channel view and define the display sequence
(e.g. 1,3,4,2).
Using the <CHANNEL> key, advance the channel in the "Machine" operating area - you
obtain the following views: Channels "1" and "3", channels "3" and "4", channels "4" and "2".
Channels "5" and "6" are not displayed in the multi-channel view.
In the single-channel view, toggle between all of the channels (1...6) without taking into
account the configured sequence for the multi-channel view.
