Pgm PID Base: The Program PID Base sets the first programs output PID number to this starting base number.
Next Pgm PID Base: The Next Program PID Base sets the next programs starting output PID number by incrementing
this value higher than the previous program's output PID number.
NOTE: It is recommended that this value be +16 above the Pgm PID base value. This is not a requirement, but will help
in guiding a user who is changing things but does not understand what they are doing. By default, this value is set to
64 which is 48+16 (48 being the default program pid base value).
