Two different computers control the FPanel interface. In the original DEA software, these computers talked to each other and passed this parameter around on their own. PC-DMIS, however, only reads from one computer, and so you need to let PC-DMIS know whether or not the other controller is set to manual or automatic mode. You should be able to look and see on the panel in front of them whether they are in manual or automatic mode. Once you let PC-DMIS know by setting this property to either 1 or 2, PC-DMIS passes the information to the other controller and changes its status.
