Turn off display in run-time on MD4 controller
I'd like to know if it's possible to disable the MD4 display and backlight during run-time to save power for batery operations. The application we have requires some periods of operation on battery power, and we'd like the controller to stay awake but be in a low-power mode. We believe turning off the display would help extend the duration of time we can operate on a single battery charge.
It would be great if an internal digital could be used to enable/disable the display and backlight, which could be woken another internal digital or a contact with the touch screen.
MC43 RAM Utilized
We just wrote our first program an MC43 and it is taking up 1.4 of the 1.5MB.
I thought the days of watching RAM utilization was gone after the MD4 came out.
Our last 2 programs utilized the MD4 as the master.
Will IQAN 5 help with decreasing RAM utilization or what is the best practice to try to reduce it in this program?

External Button Control Issue
If I have a button in a group and try to use an external control. The control outline is use the group left and top values (which are 0,0) instead of the actual left and top values.
This is trying to select button 2.
Full list of mdgn status values
Is there a full list of Status Values for the module diagnostics? Given values are no contact=203 and ok=64. I'm displaying a message if the sensor triggers (looses power), but when the XA2 has no contact or other error it will falsely display causing confusion with the customer. I'm intending to block the error for no contact, critical can, address, etc. but not for output, input, vref, temp, etc.

MD3 System Memory High Alarm
We are getting a system alarm for high memory on an MD3 Display. 2 questions
1. What are the thresholds for this alarm ? We are close but below the specifications (according to the statistics, see photo)
2. If we determine our application is functioning properly is there a method to remove this alarm, at least from displaying on the screen. Keeping it in the system log would be fine.
Thanks,
Mike
MC4x PWM Frequency
Is there a reason the new MC4x family doesn't support PWM frequencys in the 10-70Hz range? I know the XC10 will go do to 10hz and the MC31 went down to 25.
I have an application the MC42 would be perfect for, but I need one output at 32hz and another at 50hz.
