APOLLO MISSION SIMULATOR INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK
selection of manual or automatic operation of the performance evaluation parameters used during a navigation sighting. Control of the CRT display representation is manipulated from this panel.
Functional description of the controls and indicators located on this panel is tabulated in table 1-4 and depicted in figure 1-5.
1.3.1.3 Simulator Status Panel.
Status indicators are included on the IOS to enable a gross and rapid verification of correct operation and status of all significant AMS components and subsystems. This status panel is illustrated in figure 1-6. The function of each indicator is listed in table 1-5.
1.3.1.4 Simulator Control Panel.
The controls located on the simulator control panel, illustrated in figure 1-7, permit the instructor to perform the following:
- Start or stop the simulated mission at any point.
- Reset, then restart, the simulated mission at specific points.
- Run the simulated mission, or portions thereof, at other than real-time rates.
- Control the X-T recorder.
The functions of each control and indicator located on this panel are described in table 1-6.
1.3.1.5 Lighting Controls.
The individual work stations for the IOS are provided with console lighting controls. Console lighting fixtures are recessed in the hood areas overhead, providing floodlighting through styrene diffuser panels. Six control panels, one of which is illustrated in figure 1-8, are provided for variable control of flood-lighting and panel lights. These are functionally described in table 1-7.
1.3.1.6 Performance Timer.
Each of the three instructor stations is provided with a bidirectional time, as illustrated in figure 1-9. These are intended for use by the instructors in timing applications for training purposes. A functional description of the performance timer is provided in table 1-8.
1.3.1.7 Computer Status Panel.
The computer status panel, illustrated in figure 1-10, provides the instructor with an indication of the status of the peripheral equipment associated with the computer system. Table 1-9 lists a functional description of each indicator on this panel.
