to change its appearance and availability

within the System 5000

section) and press the Edit button.

If an alternative group is specified, the Program will be listed under the given group name. A

special group of ‘None’ (case-sensitive) can be specified to force no group to be used and list the

groups all Basic Programs under the Basic Programs group.

unavailable to be selected and used as an Input or Serial Listening program.
