RDM Device List Cache

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 Cobalt has cached data about a fixture so Cobalt 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 Cobalt.

"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 Cobalt.

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

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