When you select Point-to-Plumb, the current fluidic scheme appears in

Point-to-Plumb mode. All LEDs on the instrument turn off. When you select a line

between two modules, the LEDs corresponding to the two ports to be connected

a paler shade of gray and do not change color when you select them.

module that connects to the external detector (via SIM) turns on when the fluid
