 ====== Control - Programs ======
+=====Trouble Shooting=====
+====Two programs with the same Mainline running====
+Farmsync cannot run two programs using the same Mainline simultaneously. Both programs will start, but they will not be able to stop.
+To set this right, the system must be reset. Please contact a Farmsync Technician to assist.
+In order to prevent this from happening again, please make use of the Priority Function under the "Scheduling" heading in the Program.
+How does the Priorities work:
+  * Select the relevant Mainline from the dropdown list.
+  * Enter a priority from 1 to 10, 1 being the highest & 10 being the lowest.
+  * Farmsync will give priority to the program with the highest priority rating.
+    * Any program currently running & that has a lower priority rating will be paused,
+    * & the higher priority program will be allowed to run until the runtime is complete,
+    * after which the program that was paused will be resumed.
+====Program shows running but physical equipment is offline====
+This usually occurs with Pump Start Units, or systems "Piggy-backing" off external internet systems.
+  * Refresh the station connected to the Program
+    * If program still shows "Running", it is a hardware issue
+  * Take a video of the controller lights & send to a Farmsync Technician for further assistance
