The scoreboard will display:

The control console LCD display shows the same information as the scoreboard.  Note:  In some functions a 0 will be blanked on the scoreboard, but not on the console.  Because this console program is used for a number of models of scoreboards, some functions will appear on the console LCD display that are not present on the scoreboard.  Figure 12 explains the LCD display layout.
