Now to configure LCDC to use the Indicator, all you have to do is create events by pressing the little plus button and then filling in the information. Just follow the three screen shots as an example and you can modify it how ever you see fit. If you have any questions please visit the forums!

In this last screen shot we have three events created. You can create multiple event's for each GPO, like have one e-mail account flash, and another one strobe.
