6287 ULTRA User’s Manual

6287 ULTRA Front Panel

The front panel of the ULTRA provides ten Status Indicator Lights and nine Operator Function Buttons.

The Status Indicator Lights show the current functional activity of the ULTRA. They are described in the following subsection.

The Operator Function Buttons are used to configure the ULTRA from the front panel. This procedure is described in Section 8 — Front Panel Configuration. The Operator Function Buttons are also used to perform special ULTRA operations. These functions are described later in this section.
