dently of each other, in either a forward or reverse direction. Any of the sequences
can utilize the SalvoSwitching capability where any number of system monitors may
be selected to switch as a synchronized group. Using the optional LTC 8059/00
Master Control Software (MCS) package or the LTC 8850/00 Bosch Graphical User
Interface (GUI), sequences can be made to activate and deactivate automatically,
based upon the time of day and the day of week.
