7.1.3 Highlighting a Module in the Lake Controller software via the PLM
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
2. Press the button adjacent to the Module description on the LCD
If the Frame is online, but the Module is not in the work area, the selected Module will be centred on the
Module scroll bar (assuming the Modules Menu is selected in the Lake Controller).
7.2 Front Panel Key Lock
It is possible to lock the front panel buttons for security purposes. When this function is active, all front
panel controls are disabled and all adjustment must be made via the network. To lock controls, press and
hold button then simultaneously press button as shown in Figure 7-2; repeat this process to unlock.

7.3 Power Button
The unit is powered on by pressing the top-left button on the front panel, labelled in Figure 7-1. It has a
bi-color power symbol which illuminates red when connected to the AC mains and the unit is in standby
mode. It turns green when the button is pressed to turn the processor on. A subsequent press of this
button returns the unit to standby mode.
