2.4 Front Panel
The 980 is equipped with a built-in color touch display that enables you to fully operate the 980 Protocol Analyzer.
There is a power button to turn the 980 Protocol Analyzer on (along with the rocker switch on back). The power
switch in the front is used when you are turning off the 980 Protocol Analyzer for a short period of time. For
extended periods of off time, it is best to power the 980 down by first using the power button on the front and then
the rocker switch on the back.
