Enable or disable the presence sensors
The presence sensor for a particular item can be disabled if the reading is inaccurate. For example, if
the waste bin sensor indicates that it is not present during the self-test, but it is physically present on
the instrument deck, the presence sensor can be disabled to be able to start a run.
If a presence sensor for an item is disabled, the self-test does not test for the presence of this item.
