Opening and closing a program

To view a program in more detail or modify it, open the program in the editor.
With programs that are in the NCK memory, navigation is already possible when opening. The
program blocks can only be edited when the program has been opened completely. You can
follow the opening of the program in the dialog line.
With programs that are opened via local network, USB FlashDrive or network connections,
navigation is only possible when the program has been opened completely. A progress message
box is displayed when opening the program.
Note
Channel changeover in the editor
When opening the program, the editor is opened for the currently selected channel. This
channel is used to simulate the program.
If you change over a channel in the editor, this does not influence the editor. Only when closing
the editor do you change into the other channel.
