Use this screen to set power management options, update the controller software, for diagnostic tasks,
and reformat your USB memory stick to FAT32.
Power management:
Use these settings to reduce power consumption and prolong battery life. For each
setting, you define an ‘idle controller’ timeout. This timeout refers to a period, in minutes, when there is no
interaction with the controller keyboard or buttons.
-
Dim screen after idle (minutes):
Screen brightness is a major drain on battery charge. This
setting automatically dims the screen after a period of inactivity. Set a timeout (in minutes) for
dimming the screen. If the controller keyboard or buttons are not used before the timeout expires,
screen brightness is reduced to its lowest level.
-
Shutdown after idle (minutes):
This setting automatically powers down the controller after a
period of inactivity. Set a timeout (in minutes) for powering down the controller. If the controller
keyboard or buttons are not used before the timeout expires, the controller powers down.
-
Rod power off after idle (minutes):
The pushrod camera has a major effect on power
consumption. This setting automatically powers down the camera after a period of inactivity.
Set a timeout (in minutes) for powering off the camera. If you do not use the controller
keyboard or buttons before the timeout expires, the camera powers down.
Software update:
Use this setting to install software updates from a USB memory stick. For details, see
section 10
