Button Function
Shut Down
Panel
Performs a “clean” shutdown. The internal software halts, the screen becomes dark, and
buttons and knobs become inoperable. The power supplies shut down.
Warning: never just shut off power. You risk damage to the panel’s flash memory.
To start the
panel after a shutdown, you must cycle power at the power cord.
The front row of buttons on the panel give a ‘Shutdown Complete’ message when it is safe
to cycle power.
Restart Panel Performs a “hard” start — restarting the control panel completely. The process takes about a
minute. After restart, the menu system resumes at the main menu.
Test Panel Press the ‘Test Panel’ button to view the Panel Test Sub-Menu .
Update Config Performs a “soft” start — restarting the control panel software only (with the current
configuration).
(“Update” means that the panel’s configuration is copied from local non-volatile storage to
local memory.)
The “Update Config” process takes only a few seconds. During this time the panel will
cycle off and back on again. Use this soft start function to restart the control panel software
when you have written a configuration to the panel.
Purge Thumbs
Cache Pressing ‘Purge Thumbs Cache’ causes the panel to empty its cache of Intuition XG
thumbnail images.
