automatically dims after a period of inactivity. The display has two distinct areas showing
current information. The upper area shows the current parameter being monitored, such as
‘Frequency’ or ‘Data Rate’. The lower line shows the current value of that parameter. The LCD
display is a single entry window into the large matrix of parameters that can be monitored and set
from the front panel.

operation, and Red indicates a fault condition that will result in lost communications.
