Master Valve Behaviour
#2
An interesting question.

This really needs a modification of the main program code. I'll work on it as there are probably others who would have the same issue.

In the mean time, a possible work around would be to:

Wire an unused relay to the last valve that will be run ( there will be 2 relays attached to that valve).

Set the station for that relay to not activate the master.

Program that station/relay to run as the final station an set the duration for at least one second.

This will allow the pump to stop and the final valve will allow the pressure to be released.

### Edit ###
After giving this more thought and running a quick test you could:

Change to Concurrent mode which allows more than one station to rune at the same time.
Options > Station handling > Un-check Sequential

Set master to None

Program the first valve and the station that controls the pump to start at the same time. (The pump station would need to be in a separate program).

Program the second valve to start at the time the first one stops and so-on for the rest of the valves

Set the pump station's program to stop when the last valve stops.

This could also allow the pump to start a little ahead of the first valve if pressure needs to build first.
