    Is there a way to force a page on the spectrum from logic that doesn't allow the unit to goto the standby page or timeout.

    My reason is, when I arm the security system I wanted to display a page that matches the page on LCD security keypad for UI continuity.

    Also when the place is in exit delay I want the countdown timer displayed, but after 30 seconds, the screen returns to the homepage and I cannot access the countdown page directly.

    I'm not sure if the "ShowPage" logic function resets the timeout for the timeout page, but you might be able to do something like

    Code:
    if ShowingPage("keypad") then 
 begin
   ShowPage("keypad");
   Delay(1);
  end

    You can set a separate time-out for each page under project properties to override the default.
