Re: 5U Panel Design

2006-03-25 by djbrow54

I just put 4 fpd designs in the front panel folder.  I am undecided on 
the number of calibrated inputs so I tried different layouts with 
none, 4, or 8.  I also changed the design to use Piher PC controls 
since there are so many.  The only change is the mounting hole is 
smaller.

Comments and suggestions welcomed.

Dave
