Test Status LEDs

The AT7000 includes six test status LEDs on the front panel. These LEDs are used to
provide transponder test results and are generally used by aircraft mechanics. Failure
lights will stay illuminated for 3 seconds after powering up. Once in the self test mode
the fail light will stay illuminated for 10 seconds. When in this mode, pressing any but-
ton will illuminate the failure for 30 seconds.
