      </table><br><p class="para_topic">The synchronization manager shows you the time each machine event begins in the channel list. Generally, the start time of the next event is the end time of the previous event, with the exception of synchronization events. The system does not automatically recalculate machine times when you make program changes, as this could be time-consuming in very large programs. When you are ready to recalculate machine times, select the Calculate Machine Times icon  <img align="bottom" src="graphics/icon_calc_mach_times.gif" border="0">. Each time you begin simulating the program, the system automatically recalculates all machine times for you. The system does nothing if machining times are up-to-date.
