This means that not only is the computation and data flow distributed, but the control flow is distributed as well. The master creates and initiates the communication between the other workstations and distributes commands from the user interface to all the workstations. The master also executes any execution group that is not assigned to another workstation in addition to its own assigned groups. By default, all tools in a visual program belong to a single unnamed execution group. This group is executed on the master workstation.

A group name can be selected by clicking on the name. It can be deselected by clicking on the name a second time or by clicking on another name.
