Question about setting up a pendant with Mach 3

Hello,
My Hurco is still in the wiring stage. The PC is running with Mach and it has passed the driver test. Also the PMDX XML file is installed but hasn't been saved as the main XML.
This is my pendant :

It uses this board:

This is the set-up and it requires a brain:

Should I go ahead and configure Mach for this and test it out to see if it will change the readouts on the screen ,etc?
Or, would it be better to wait until the machine is running to add this on?
The E-stop on the pendant will be wired in, but can be added later, too.
The drive wiring, limit switches, encoder wiring, still needs to be done.
I will wait until the machine is operating before powering the spindle speed board & VFD.
Thanks for all of the help,

No harm in messing with it at the moment. Might be a good idea to make a new profile up for it, that way if you have issues you can easily revert back to the old profile.
