7.1.3. Selecting a Module in the Lake Controller software via the Front Panel
It is sometimes useful to identify which Module icon/s in the Lake Controller software are associated with a
particular hardware Frame. To highlight the module in the Lake Controller software:
1. Ensure Meter Mode is selected and in Module view.
2. Press the button adjacent to the Module description on the left LCD. The corresponding module will show
highlighted text on the Lake Controller screen.
If the Frame is online, but the Module is not in the work area, the selected Module will be centered on the Module
scroll bar (assuming the Modules Menu is selected in the Lake Controller).

to standby mode.
