 Please note that to create a filter program, the following must be created first:
-  * "Filter" Mainline
+  * "Filter" Mainline - created under setup_mainlines
-  * Valves for each of the backflush valves on the filter station
+  * Valves for each of the backflush valves on the filter station - created under setup_manage valves
-  * DP (Differential Pressure) sensor
+  * DP (Differential Pressure) sensor - created under setup_all sensors
+Should you require help in creating these, please contact your Farmsync Technician
-There are two scenarios that will be explained below:
+=====Creating a Filter Program=====
-  - Creating a Filter Program where flushing is managed by an external flush controller
-    - In this case, Farmsync only sends a start & end command
-  - Creating a Filter Program that issues all commands from Farmsync
-    - In this case all the flush times are set on Farmsync
-=====Using an external flush controller=====
