Meter Panel Overview
The BMX digital meter panel attaches at the rear

part of the modules, hiding all of the module con-
nectors from the board operator’s view. It has the
meters, a clock (except on the BMX digital-14) and
an event timer. A Quick Guide to the meter panel
components is on pages 3-18 and 3-19.
