CHAPTER THREE
OPERATION
3.0 INTRODUCTION
The TymMachine TM7000 features two independent displays, an LED Time display and a LCD
Display (MENU) of instrument function and user selections. Immediately below the LCD
Display are sixteen push-button switches. The switches at either end are used to select the next

switch. Once made, a selection remains in memory indefinitely until changed by the operator.
