Working with List boxes
A Static List box Table
A static list box populates button information based on data stored on the Mio Modero DMS. The device
cannot display current state information provided by the master like A Dynamic List box Table can.
Conversely, the device will resume the last known static table event should power be cycled.
A Dynamic List box Table
A dynamic list box table populates button information base upon communications between the Mio
Modero DMS and a master. Opposed to static tables, the information displayed on the device is passed
through the master to the device. Dynamic tables are great for creating parameters for displaying
changing options, i.e., date, time or temperature; however, if the device loses power it will not be able to
display the last known states. After creating a dynamic table, Specify Channel Allocation and Specify
Port Allocation.

Now that the list box has been allocated for on the keypad page, navigation buttons have been set for the
list box and properties have been established for the list box it is time to create A Static List box Table.
