Figure 23–Menu navigation sample screen

The “Option” button is used to logout or save changes.

The menu structure is shown in Figure 25. The next chapter describes the items that may be changed.

5.1.1Option to Logout

Via the Option button, a pop-up window enables the user to logout of the menu navigation screen and return to the home page.

If changes have been made, another pop-up window will prompt the user with buttons to “Save” or “Discard.” In each case, the active area will return to the home page and a pop-up window will confirm the selection. Tapping the “X” button will clear the pop-up from the active area.

If changes have been made, and logout is selected, another pop-up window will prompt the user with buttons to “Save” or “Discard.”

5.1.2Option to Save

Saving in menu navigation (Supervisor only) will result in a prompt (pop-up window) to appear; e.g., “Save Complete” when the settings are downloaded.

If there are no changes made, then saving in menu navigation will result in a prompt (pop-up window) to appear; e.g., “There are no changes to save.”

In each case, tapping the “X” button will clear the pop-up from the active area and remain in menu navigation. The Supervisor will retain the security access level to continue making changes and does not return to the home page.

5.1.3Auto-Logout Timeout

After 20 minutes of inactivity (no user input), the CXC will automatically logoff the user. The CXC will discard any unsaved changes made by the user while logged in the system and return to Normal Operation mode. The access level will be reset to the default user access and the screen will continue to display live data.

5.1.4Backlight Timeout

After one minute of inactivity (no user input), the CXC will automatically turn off the LCD backlight.
