How to Use
On the Control page of the element, you can Launch, Stop or Retrieve the current active scenario for each system. You need to specify a scenario name to be launched on the DAL station or on the Helm, and only then the scenario can be stopped.
Clicking the Query button will retrieve the current scenario for both systems. In case there is no scenario for a system, NA will be displayed.
You can disable the connection with the Helm by toggling from Enabled to Disabled.
