Refer to Figure 2.1 for the following discussions of the LDX-3500 Series Precision
Current Sources front panel sections. The key words are in capital letters for quick
identification. Although an LDX-3525 front panel is shown, Figure 2.1 may be
used for front panel familiarization with the LDX-3545 and LDX-3565.
