    Program a switch to change a output from "auto" to "off"

    Ok, first post here. I am learning about all the great things that an Apex can accomplish. But I have one question I couldn't seem to find an answer for. I think I have a good idea on how I want to set up my water storage of R.O water and NSW. Basically, I have two storage tanks that I currently use. My intention is to have a set of float switches in each storage tank. One for "full" and one for "empty". I'd like to "T" my R.O. feed to both tanks and utilize the Neptune solenoids as a shut off for when the given tank is full. I intend to use a float valve for both for redundancy. The R.O. storage will be cut and dry on the programming of keeping it full. I am using the Dos system to perform water changes from the NSW tank. I am trying to figure out how to handle the task of a depleted NSW storage tank. I can obviously program Apex to stop performing water changes when the tank is empty. However, I want to take it a step further. I want to program the system to automatically start refilling the NSW storage tank. It is a 65gal tank so it will take awhile. Obviously, I don't want the system to resume operation until I have a chance to mix in the new salt. Can I program apex to disable the "auto" mode on the DOS when the empty switch is activated? The system could start the refill process of R.O. water and once that is complete the system would stay idle until I physically resumed operation after mixing the salt. How nice would it be to receive a message that the NSW tank is empty and is currently being refilled and awaits a physical "reset" by me when I mix the salt. Mix the salt, perform the reset and I am good for another month.

    Sorry if this has been covered before. I do really try and search before posting.

    StopAWC
    Set OFF
    If Output NSWrefillSolenoid = ON Then ON
    When On > 000:02 Then ON

    DOS advanced tab
    If Output StopAWC = ON Then OFF

    Set StopAWC to AUTO once you have mixed salt.

    I think I understand the logic in this code. StopAWC is a virtual outlet?
