My prototype had LEDs on the outputs. Rather impractical on a 13-jack
2U panel, though.

1) It is a 0 to 9.999s dual delay. the '1000ms' in the name at the
bottom is missing a zero.

2) The buttons use a set of routines I wrote to control various process
controllers. There are a number of increment/decrement rates based on how
long the button is depressed.

3) That "<FREQ>" on the delay panel is a typo.

And lastly, these panel images were my initial ideas. End results may
be a bit different.
