Factory loaded configurations

The first 15 configuration slots are filled at the factory, so these are available by appropriate choice 
of DIP switches (see above) without accessing the configuration tool at all.
All of these were created using the 'Configuration Wizard' (see above) and so are easy to recreate if 
you erase or save over them.
