RDM Device List Cache

Normally RDM cache is something you don't have to worry about. In some rare situations you may
want to force a re-query.
There is a column that shows cache status. The Cache contains stored information discovered about a
device over RDM and this indicator shows if Cobalt has cached data about a fixture so Cobalt no
longer needs to query about the device structure.
Press MODIFY in this cell to re-query or store the cache (see options below)
