2 Front Panel
The front panel of the ION 8000 series provides a user-friendly interface from
which you can view system data or configure meter settings. A scrollable display
and three distinct modes (NORM, ALT and TEST) provide easy access to a full
range of functions through a simple three-button keypad.
This chapter describes the front panel and explains how to use it to display data,
perform tests, and set up basic configuration options.
