 | Front Panel | 
| 21. | Display | The LCD display provides information on the current instrument | |
| 
 | 
 | state such as modulation status, frequency and amplitude settings, | |
| 
 | 
 | status indicators, and error messages. Softkey labels corresponding | |
| 
 |

| 
 | 
 | display. |

| 
 | 
 | a combination of 100 memory registers and 10 register sequences. | |
| 
 | 
 | The number of states you can save, however, is limited by the size of | |
| 
 | 
 | whatever else is stored in the file system. |

| 
 | 
 | frequency and power capabilities. |
