Tables 3-5 through 3-8 describe the parameters available from the front panel and entry in more
detail. The grayed separators delineate column divisions in the area matrix. The "»"symbol
indicates that this parameter is not available unless a preceding parameter is enabled or set to
require those parameters, or optional hardware is installed that uses that particular parameter.
Parameters can also be added as new options are installed.
