Purely out of convenience, I am wondering if there is a way to mimic the 'Refresh Browse" for a device on the gateway via a script, say on a button?

Because I have automatic browse turned off, when I make PLC changes I obviously have to ‘refresh’ in order for Ignition to recognize changes. Is there a way to script this in Ignition?

I have a ControlLogix v20 with Ign 7.8.4.
