RDM Device List Cache (6.3)

Normally RDM cache is something you don't have to worry about. In some rare situations
you may want to force a re-query.

There is a column that shows cache status. The Cache contains stored information
discovered about a device over RDM and this indicator shows if Congo has cached data
about a fixture so Congo no longer needs to query about the device structure.

Press MODIFY in this cell to re-query or store the cache (see options below)

Options (press MODIFY to activate)

"Querying device structure..."
- This is a status that a query is going on

"Device structure available. Save to cache?"
- There is a structure, you can save it to cache manually (it is done at shutdown
automatically). It will be loaded at the next restart of Congo.

"Using cached device structure. Delete cache?"
- Will delete the cached structure, and allow a re-query. It will be done at the next restart of
Congo.

"Restart to use cache"
- The cache is now stored and att the next restart Congo will start using it automatically.

"Restart to re-query"
- At the next restart of Congo, a new query will be performed.
