As I mentioned in the "[PDP-11 Tutorials](http://www.pcjs.org/blog/2017/01/03/)" blog post, I've been working on
some methods for visually illustrating how machine components work. And the PDP-11/70 Operator's Console,
with its many blinking lights and switches, seemed like a good candidate.
with its daunting number of lights and switches, seemed like a good candidate.
NOTE: I prefer the generic term "Front Panel" to describe DEC's Operator's Console, because it's less ambiguous and
more generally recognized and understood.
I still haven't written a *real* tutorial on the PDP-11/70 Front Panel, which will require starting at a much more
fundamental level, explaining and demonstrating each switch in turn.
However, I have made more progress on the basic elements that any tutorial or demo requires: allowing the user to walk
through a step-by-step demonstration of some procedure.
fundamental level, explaining and demonstrating each switch in turn. However, I have made more progress on the basic
elements that any tutorial or demo will need: allowing the user to walk through a step-by-step demonstration of some
procedure.
To illustrate, I've copied a multi-step procedure from the page on [Toggle-Ins](/devices/pdp11/machine/1170/panel/debugger/#toggle-ins)
that shows how to use the PDP-11/70 Front Panel to verify that the Memory Management Unit (MMU) is operating properly.
The procedure involves entering a small 3-instruction program at address 200 that will write a value (070707) to
address 200, executing the program, and then verifying that the MMU relocated that value to address 300 instead.
The procedure requires you to enter a small 3-instruction program at address 200 that will write a value (070707) to
address 200, execute the program, and then verify that the MMU relocated that value to address 300 instead.
As you click through each of the steps below, pay attention to the Front Panel. You should see all the switches being
toggled at each stage. And as you complete each step, the button for that step will be disabled, so that you don't
forget your place or accidentally repeat a step. And as you scroll through the steps, the machine should always remain
visible.
Give it a try!

### MMU Relocation Test
From DEC's [PDP-11/70 Maintenance Service Guide](http://archive.pcjs.org/pubs/dec/pdp11/1170/PDP1170_Maintenance_Service_Guide_Apr88.pdf),
Chapter 4:
Use the following toggle-in to verify the correct operation of Memory Management Relocation.
200/012737 MOV #400,@#177572 (load maint. bit in MMRO)
202/000400
204/177572
206/012737 MOV #070707,@#200 (move 070707 to virtual 200)
210/070707
212/000200
214/000000 HLT
300/000300 Preset loc 300 to 300
17772300/077406 Set Kernel I PDR 0 to R/W 4K page
17772340/000001 Set Kernel I PAR 0 to (Base address 100)
Load Address 200
Start Display = 000216 (Halt@214)
Load Address 300
Exam Display = 070707 ... Relocation works
