Element Configuration Utility Reference

During the boot process, a countdown timer will appear near the Element logo. There are two ways
that you can force the console to boot into the utility instead of the main console application. You
can either click with a mouse the countdown timer itself or you can hold down "e", "o" and "s" at the
same time on a connected alphanumeric keyboard. You have 5 seconds to do either one if you want
to go directly to the configuration utility.
Otherwise, you can always enter the ECU from the Element application by choosing
[Browser]>Exit Element.

three different modes, change various settings, or shutdown the console.
