The surgeon console is the control center for the robotic platform. From the surgeon console, the surgeon can control the endoscope and instruments by using the hand controls and footswitch panel. All actions taken by the surgeon at the console are relayed to the vision system for processing and sent to the patient cart for implementation.

... [the] standby attitude indicator shall (a) be powered from a source independent of the electrical generating system; (b) be operative without selection after total failure of the electrical generating system; (c) continue reliable operation for a minimum of 30 minutes after total failure of the electrical generating system; (d) operate independently of any attitude indicator system; ...

CONT

The standby attitude reference system, comprised of the attitude indicator located on the extreme left center of the pilot's instrument panel and a 28 Vdc [volt direct current] emergency power supply, provide a visual indication of the aircraft flight attitude. The attitude reference system is designed to provide a standby attitude indicator that is powered by a source independent of the aircraft electrical generating system. The system will provide reliable attitude information for at least 30 minutes after a total failure of the aircraft electrical system.

CONT

... these functions were provided by three different instruments known as the standby altimeter, the standby anemometer and the standby horizon. These three instruments had their own array of sensors so that they were completely self-contained in the event of any serious breakdown of the main displays or instruments.

CONT

A primary goal of the current product is to perform as an emergency horizon in the event the primary flight display of the aircraft fails.

The overhead panel is the nerve center of the aircraft systems and replaces many of the controls previously located on the flight engineers panel.

OBS

With a few exceptions, instruments are mounted on a panel in the cockpit so that the dials are plainly visible to the pilot or copilot. Instrument panels are usually made of sheet aluminum alloy strong enough to resist flexing. The panels are non-magnetic and are painted with a nonglare paint to eliminate glare or reflection. In aircraft equipped with only a few instruments, only one panel is necessary; in some aircraft, additional panels are required. In such cases the forward instrument panel is usually referred to as the "main" instrument panel to distinguish it from additional panels on the cockpit overhead or along the side of the flight compartment. On some aircraft the main instrument panel is also referred to as the pilot’s or copilot’s panel, since many of the pilot’s instruments on the left side of the panel are duplicated on the right side.

EXPRESS Rack Simulator. The ERS located in the PSC [Payload Support Center] is composed of three racks. The first is the EXPRESS Rack Mock-up, the second is the data acquisition system rack and the third is the water cooling rack. In addition to being able to accommodate payload that would mechanically interface with the 8/2 ER configuration, the rack will also accommodate different size ISIS drawers. There is a possibility that one of the CSA payloads will use a 12-PU drawer. For this reason the configuration of the EXPRESS Rack Mock-up was chosen to be 4/6, i. e. 4 MDL [Mid-Deck Storage Locker] and 6 ISIS [International Sub-rack Interface Standard] drawers. Essentially, the CSA rack is the bottom portion of the ER with 4 drawers added on the bottom. This configuration will permit the accommodation of single, double and quad MDL as well as 4-PU, 8-PU and 12-PU ISIS drawers. The ERS has the same mechanical interface and front panel layout than the EXPRESS Rack to provide higher fidelity during training for the ISS crew. This also provides a better verification environment. The ERS provides 28V to the payloads rated at 5, 10, 15 or 20 Amps but does not include the RIC or other ER equipment. This is why a Suitcase Simulator will be used to communicate with the payload in the rack.
