 Conditions
 An action indicated with"C" (Condition) is only executed if the interlock
condition of the step is satisifed ("C" = 1).
 An interlock error occurs if the condition is zero. The action with the C
condition is not executed. The step is highlighted and the error message
"Error" is generated.
