The Front Panels
The series 8000 enclosure front panels are essentially self configuring depending on the mix of
function card and measuring channels. You will need to refer to the manual on the specific
module for information on the front panel controls. See appendix A and B for some brief
information on measuring channels and function cards. Since the MCD-8000 is essentially an
integral part of the chassis, information on its operation and calibration is included in this
manual.
Module Side Panel Labeling
The modules are normally labeled on the side panel with special information concerning the
module such as part number, sensor type, and whether the module is a master or a slave.
With the measuring systems it is important to know whether the unit is a master or slave as
the chassis are configured such that the master is the leftmost measuring channel slot and all
other measuring channel slots ( on measuring channels with the same oscillator frequency) are
configured as slaves. On function cards the dash number on the part number may be
significant as to how the card was configured.
