Note: When using ControlSpace Designer Software for setup and configuration, you may select if the front-panel controls are persistent
(they over-write any stored settings in the ControlSpace Design file), or if changes from the front panel are ignored after the next power
off/on cycle (the settings stored in the ControlSpace Design file over-write any front panel changes after power cycling). For additional
information, please refer to the ControlSpace Designer V3.0 User Manual.
All other front-panel interface menus use a similar navigation and data entry structure.
