of

not
shown since they are similar to
the Model

When not displaying values, the 18-character display is
used for messages associated with various aspects of op-
eration.
All front panel controls, except for the POWER
switch
and
the rotary knob, are momentary contact switches.
Many control buttons have a light to indicate the selected
feature. The controls are color-coded into functional
groups for ease of operation.
