circuit module switches have not been disabled.
a)
Master A/B Gang Switch:
Toggle the Master A/B Gang Switch between
the "A" and "B" positions. The LED indicators should follow the Master
Switch, indicating that each circuit has switched the "A" and "B" paths.
b)
Circuit Module A/B Switch:
Choose an individual Circuit Module
and toggle the module’s A/B Switch between "A" and "B". The LED
indicators should indicate that the module has switched the A/B path.
