Overview
The instrument panel is a compact way to fit multiple (4) buttons, switches or dials into one block. It uses composite signals for both input and output.
Each "module" on the instrument panel can be individually set in the property menu of the block, where you can select their type and which composite channel they will read from or write to.
Input & Output
Interestingly the input and output composite of the instrument panel are linked, any composite channel that is unchanged by the panel will remain what it was in the input.
Meaning you can chain multiple panels in series provided they all use different channels.
Displays
Dial
Functions like a normal dial block.
Gauge
Functions like a normal gauge block, just without the secondary input.
Indicator
Functions like a normal indicator block.
Bar Segment
Seven Segment
Radial Segment
Inputs
Button
Functions like a normal button, except instead of having a separate push and toggle variant, you get to select it in the property menu.
Arrow Button
Functions like a normal button, except its shaped like a triangle, the direction it points in can be changed in the property menu.
Flip Switch
Functions like a toggle button.
