Note: DWG and DXF files are formatted for AutoCAD 2000 or better.
FPD files require Front Panel Designer 3.2 or better.

The current downconverter enclosure in service at Arecibo has a front panel manufactured by Front Panels Express. The provided FPD file is compatible with their custom Front Panel Designer software.

Due to the thin aluminum material used on the back panels of Bud NHC-14156, the back panel of the enclosure was punched out by hand. Therefore, no corresponding FPD file is available.
