Section 20.2.1 · Chapter 20: Setting up Target Panel

Entering Panel Setup Mode

Sometimes, you need to put the target panel into the Panel Setup Mode in order to set it up. These are the steps for you to enter the Panel Setup Mode when an application is running:

Step 1: Pin-point the upper-left corner of the screen. If successful, there will be a red square blinking once on the corner.
Step 2: Pin-point the upper-right corner of the screen. If successful, there will be a red square blinking once on the corner.
Step 3: Pin-point the upper-left corner of the screen. If successful, there will be a red square blinking once on the corner.

Only after pin-pointing the left-right-left corners of the screen successfully, will you be able to get the target panel into the Panel Setup Mode.

Note: If the above procedure does not work, you need to check to see whether the Allow to Run Panel Setup flag under the General Settings screen is True. If it is False, the target panel will not be allowed to run panel setup.
