  1. Open the INVALIDCMD table and create a list of commands which are invalid for a given state. The commands which are not listed here are thus valid.

  1. Open the DIGITAL table and fill in the initial state for the pump and define the alarm numbers (only if you use individual alarm numbers). If you use consecutive alarm numbers, the first number is shown in the ATOM table.
