(9) PARITY Indicator
IN RX MODE:
LED Indicates parity (ODD or EVEN) of word
presently displayed.
IN TX MODE:
LED Indicates selected transmit parity.
(10) HEX/ENG Switch
Allows operator to select hexadecimal or
engineering unit display and entry of data.
(11) TX/RX Key
Allows operator to select whether the system is in
transmit or receive mode of operation for display
and entry of data. After selection of the TX/RX
key, initial display indicates the number of labels

labels are entered in octal format. The `0' and `1'
keys allow clearing and setting, respectively, bits
