"This Norsec-designed control box manages devices such as the Active Vent, Passive Vent, Gas Sensor and Composite Door, depending on which circuitboard is inserted into the unit. It has a shared data/power port. A completed console displays all devices connected to the current power network. Any devices not related to the installed circuitboard will be greyed-out and inoperable. Consoles are locked once a Data Disk is removed."
— Stationpedia
The console is one device of the Console item kit. The console can be fitted with a [Circuitboard. As of the Respawn Update consoles can be configured using a screwdriver on the side screw. In previous versions this required putting in a data disk in the side slot. Note that there is currently an inconsistency with the new functionality and the stationpedia which still mentions disks.
There is the Console (Variant 1 of the kit) which has a mixed input (data and energy) and the Console Dual (Variant 2 of the kit) which has two inputs (one for energy and one for data).
Example set up
For example one can set it to pressure measurement (requires gas circuit board inside) which allows one to read out the actual pressure value of a connected gas sensor. (Setup shown in picture)
Tips
You need to insert a Circuit Board and then put a sheet of glass over it to complete construction.
To display general readings, only the Graph Display Circuit Board will find all the devices which are connected to your power grid. Any available readings will be shown on the select list.
For other specialized Circuit Boards (Gas, Power, etc.) the only values that can be displayed are those related to the function of that board.
Deconstruction
First remove the glass sheet with a Crowbar. The device itself is deconstructed with the Hand Drill.

Mode Values
These lists the values and meanings for the "Mode" property of the LED Display.
Value
Meaning
"Setting" parameter interpretation
0
Normal number display
Direct display as a number. Values smaller than 1.000E-07 will be displayed as 0.
1
Percentage number display
Input range of 0.0 to 1.0 is interpolated and displayed as the range 0% to 100%. Values outside this range scale more, e.g. 10 shows as 1000%
2
Power display
Adds a watt suffix (W) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. kW)
3
Kelvin display
Adds a Kelvin suffix (K) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. kK)
4
Celcius display
Adds a degrees Celcius suffix (°C) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. k°C)
5
Meters display
Adds a meters suffix (m) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. km)
6
Credits display
Adds a Credits suffix (€) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. k€)
7
Seconds display
Adds a seconds suffix (sec) to the number. Does not divide and apply a metric prefix for Setting values >= 1000.
8
Minutes display
Adds a minutes suffix (min) to the number. Does not divide and apply a metric prefix for Setting values >= 1000.
9
Days display
Adds a days suffix (days) to the number. Does not divide and apply a metric prefix for Setting values >= 1000. Always indicates "days" even when Setting is 1.
10
String display
Displays the Setting value as an octet-packed ASCII string of up to six characters. A Setting value of $414243444546 will display "ABCDEF" on the display.
11
Farenheit display
Adds a farenheit suffix (°F) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. k°F)
12
Litres display
Adds a Litres suffix (L) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. kL)
13
Mol display
Adds a Mols suffix (mol) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metric prefix to the suffix. (e.g. kmol)
14
Pa display
Adds a Pascals suffix (Pa) to the number. Also divides the number as needed and adds a metricprefix to the suffix. (e.g. kPa)
