FRONT PANEL

The Bijou is a micro-processor based control sys-

tem with all operational instruction sets and con-

control console front panel allows access to these

instructions and routines through key selections.

All key selections are echoed on the system com-

mand line located at the bottom of the monitor.

The Bijou and Bijou Plus are available as MEM-

groupings of 24, 48, or 72 to the left or above the
