Control
PUMA provides a user with comprehensive MIDS LVT Stand Alone Control Panel (SACP) functionality, which incorporates controls over Test Support Recording Device (TSRD) functions. The main display is designed such that principal and potentially regularly-invoked control functions are permanently provided on each side of the user interface at this level, i.e. they are not required to be frequently and specifically selected from a menu.
