Configuring the User Inactivity Timer
You can use the user inactivity timer to specify the period of time that the NMC-RX application waits before it closes due to user inactivity. If you do not perform any tasks (view, configure, update, etc.) in the time specified, a message dialog box appears indicating that your session has ended.
When you click OK, all open dialog boxes and workshops close and the NMC-RX application exits. You must restart the application and log in again to continue using it. The timer is reset each time you click the mouse or press a keyboard key within the NMC-RX application. When the application is busy, the timer is disabled but restarts when the task is completed.
