4.1.1 VFD Front Panel Display

The front panel display is a 2 line by 16-character vacuum flourescent display. The display is
lighted and the brightness can be set to increase when the front panel is currently in use. The
VFD automatically dims after a period of inactivity. The display has two distinct areas showing
current information. The upper area shows the current parameter being monitored, such as
'Frequency' or 'Data Rate'. The lower line shows the current value of that parameter. The VFD is
a single entry window into the large matrix of parameters that can be monitored and set from the
Front Panel.

4.1.2 Cursor Control Arrow Keys

A set of 'Arrow' or 'Cursor' keys (↑), (↓), (→), (←), is used to navigate the parameter currently
being monitored or controlled. Table 4-2 describes the functions available at the Front Panel.

4.1.3 Numeric Keypad

A 10 Key Numeric Keypad with 2 additional keys for the 'Enter' and 'Clear' function allows the
entry of data into the system. Table 4-2 describes the functions available at the Front Panel.
