instructions for Screen 2.

Add the Control List Selector

The Control List Selector is an object with three different components: the
list of selections, the Up Cursor button, and the Down Cursor button.

When an operator uses the Up or Down Cursor buttons, the PLC records
which of the five selections is highlighted. When the operator presses one
of the Momentary (Normally Open) buttons, the PLC will either start or
stop the associated pump.
