Dimmer - recovery from previous night flight

After a night flight with a very low dimmer setting (0 or 10) on the display, I try to remember to reset the dimmer to a high setting before shutdown. If I forget, its very difficult or impossible to read the screen at the next daytime startup. Most recently, I had to trial and error the push/turn adjustments until I hit the dimmer. Messy.

Am I missing something that might "auto reset" the dimmer to, say, 50 after a restart? I found nothing about this on the forum. Could that be incorporated into software sometime?

Thanks, Mike

We could change the software to always boot on full brightness; the right button always turns the right knob to dim.

Thank you Rob. The solution is there, I just did not find it.
Press the right button, and adjust brightness up with the knob.
I didn't want to bother you with a call, and yet you got the answer before anyone else. I appreciate it.
Mike

Rob,
This is the second undocumented use of button 5. 1-makes right knob the dimmer. 2-press and hold does a screen capture (assuming to the sd card).
Any chance in getting these features documented in the printed documentation?:(

Be very careful with the screen capture, it is not documented because we really did not intend it to be a user feature.
The screen capture will make the EFIS stop updating the display while it saves the image.
