will now appear where your cursor/arrow was), then left clicking on the respective DSA
module under the cluster you wish to assign that module to.
For example, if you were using a 1C cluster (single DSA230, LED at bottom), you would

When you assign a DSA module for the first time, from a new DSA Pilot window, you

module has information in it – you will get a window prompt asking you what you want to
