CONTROL PANEL
The control panel is an array of icon-based icons located on the right hand side of the display.
The icon icons allow for a single touch to execute a function. The Dash 8Xe / Dash 8X ships

run/halt.
The control panel can be customized to add or remove icon icons to suit your recording
needs. Further, the control panel settings can be saved to a file for later recall making test
