You can also associate a control station with an electrical item using the Apply Options feature for the electrical item with which you want to associate a control station. If you apply a control station to an item that is connected to a circuit, the software associates the control station cables (instrumentation and control) with the circuit automatically when you select the appropriate Options Manager setting. If you do not use this setting, you need to make the association manually. For details, see Associate Cables of Control Stations with Equipment Circuits.
