   Info
   title Note.
   The postfix of file name is specified in the Image column – the image that is stored in < Axxon PSIM installation directory>\Bmp.

   Transition rules is a simple state machine – an event is an input action and a state is a result.
   An unconditional transition is used in this case: if CUSTOM||ON event is received, then there is transition to the ON state, if CUSTOM||OFF event is received, then there is transition to the OFF state.
7. To save changes use the Save command in the File menu. The saved file must have the ddi extension and be stored in the folder corresponding to the required language, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\Languages\en\Axxon PSIM.custom.ddi
