Instantiating a program

Programs are instantiated in the Tasks and Events editor. To instantiate a program, create the required task and assign it to the desired program instance.
Individual tasks are coordinated and processed in the Execution and Synchronization Manager (ESM). The AXC F 2152 uses a dual-core processor and has one ESM (ESM1 and ESM2 in the Tasks and Events editor) per processor core. The AXC F 1152 uses only one processor core and features one ESM.
