The KY11-LB Programmer's Console was an option for the PDP-11/04 and the PDP-11/34 which provided the functionality of a conventional 'lights and switches' front panel.
It consisted of a front panel, an M7859 quad card which plugged into any available UNIBUS SPC slot in the backplane holding the CPU, and a 20-conductor flat cable which connected the two.
The front panel had an octal keypad, a 6-digit LED display which showed address and data information, and the following function keys:
- CLR - Clear
- LAD - Load Address
- DIS AD - Display Address
- LSR - Load Switch Register
- EXAM -Examine
- DEP - Deposit
- CNTRL - Control - Used to enable the following keys:
- INIT - Initialize
- HALT/SS - Halt/Single-Step (the latter without 'Control')
- CONT - Continue
- START
- BOOT
In addition, several other functions were actuated by use of the 'Control' and various numeric keys.
