Table 3-1, in addition to providing a brief description of each control and indicator, lists the paragraphs in which the use of
each control and indicator is described. Because most of the functions performed by the front panel controls can also be
performed remotely by power supply commands, the corresponding paragraphs in Chapter 5 (Remote Operation) are listed
in Table 3-1 where applicable.
