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.

restarting the control panel completely. The process takes

about a minute. After restart, the menu system resumes at the main menu.

Update Con-
fig

Performs a “soft” start

restarting the control panel software only (with the current con-

figuration).

(“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 soft-
ware when you have written a configuration to the panel.

Pressing ‘Purge Thumbs Cache’ causes the panel to empty its cache of Intuition XG
thumbnail images.
