- Left hand side switches override right ones

- Good practice to use PIC<N>AUTO alias (obtained from ICE AUTO)

- The PIC card is divided between A and B sides, where the A side has

 odd numbers and the B even.
 - A side: Module 1, odd numbered tuners on processor modules
 - B side: Module 2, even numbered tuners on processor modules

- Auto-start with ACTION=X, where X is the name or unique abbreviation

 of the snapper button corresponding to the desired action, e.g.,
 ACTION=mon to bring up snapper and start monitoring

- V6Ms have Tuner Banks using onboard memory

- Switches with SnapApp

 - nM> snapapp/use={CARD=PIC1AUTO,PORT=MODULE1}
