4.2 Initialize
This command initializes the daisy chain of actuators by sending a “Renumber” (command 2) to
the actuators and asking them to return their current positions. If no device is found, it will ask
the user to retry until a device is successfully connected and found.

The initialization command is useful when new devices are hot-swapped in and out of the daisy
chain. For example, if there are already two devices connected and a device is either added or
subtracted from the end of the daisy chain, execute the initialization command to renumber all of
the actuators. The controller does not reset the positions of the actuators on initialization;
therefore all actuators that remain powered-up during the hot swapping will not lose their
position.

The bar graph indicates the current brightness and contrast settings. Select the brightness or
contrast by the button next to the line, and turn the rotary knob to change the settings. The
backlight can be turned off completely at the lowest brightness setting.
There is an optimal contrast setting for a specific viewing angle and temperature. The contrast
setting also affects the response time of the LCD display.
