PANEL NAME: WARP DRIVE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS

FUNCTION OVERVIEW: Three separate critical factors are monitored at this display:

ACTIVE FUEL CELLS  -  Two active remote scanners located inside the warp core monitoring the condition of antimatter power taps that are imbedded on the inner surface of the reactor core. Inactive cells are identified and reactor capacity reduced accordingly.

DILITHIUM CRYSTAL MASS  -  Measure the decay of each dilithium crystal array. The inner and outer grey bands show expansion limits. Dilithium crystals shrink as they absorb antiprotons.

WARP COIL STATUS  -  Shows the efficiency of each of the 12 warp coils on each nacelle. Warp field can be maintained with only one active coil per nacelle but four coils per nacelle are required in order to initiate a warp field. Warp coil status must be balanced between the two nacelles, if a port nacelle coil goes off-line the corresponding starboard coil must be taken off-line also..

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE: This is a passive display, no calibration required.
