Once programmed, the PC Interface is no longer required. In fact, you can
program the C-Bus network without the PC Interface but it would be hard
work and the advanced features unavailable.

Yes, once programmed, each module retains its programming even without
power.

Perhaps, but having the ability of interfacing it to a computer is highly
desirable though.

We sometimes carry out programming for clients prior to dispatch. If you
know exactly what you require, we'll be happy to program the C-Bus modules
to your specifications.
