NoteThe SU90 system supports two different operating panels. These are referred to as "Mk1" and "Mk2". In this publication all descriptions and references are related to "Mk2".
The controls provided by the Operating Panel are arranged in logical functional groups. This offers you clear and easy operation with fast access to key functionality. All the functionality provided by the SU90 system can be accessed using the trackball on the Operating Panel and the menu system shown in the display presentation. The Operating Panel allows you to assign certain functions to dedicated buttons and switches.
