The Attitude Set Control Panel is located at the bottom left of MDC-1 {{panel label\|name=A}} and contains three sets of digits for roll, pitch, and yaw, along with associated thumbwheels.

			The current angles of the IMU or GDC can be obtained through use of the ASCP. When the FDAI source switch is set to ATT SET {{panel label\|name=B}} for an individual FDAI, the error needles on the selected FDAI will display the direction to the attitude set on the ASCP. Scrolling the attitude on the ASCP changes the target attitude of the error needles. When the needles are centered, the attitude set in ASCP matches the gimbal angles of the platform selected by the ATT SET switch {{panel label\|name=C}}. When the needles are not centered, they serve as "fly-to" instructions.

			Finally, the GDC can be realigned to the angles set by the ASCP. When ATT SET switch is set to GDC, depressing the GDC ALIGN button {{panel label\|name=D}} will align the GDC to the attitude set on the ASCP. By acquiring the IMU angle via either the ASCP, or the 16 20 display on the DSKY, you can realign the GDC to the IMU.

The '''Attitude Set Control Panel (ASCP)''', located in the lower left corner of panel 1, provides a possibility to enter a total attitude using the thumbwheels. This attitude can be used to either align the GDC or to provide fly-to indications on the [[CSM FDAI|FDAI]] attitude error needles.

== Usage ==

[[image:ASCP.gif|right|thumb|The ASCP<cite>AOH</cite>]]

Clicking with the left mouse button on the upper/lower part of the thumbwheel increases or decreases the attitude about 1°. Holding down the mouse button changes the attitude continuously. A click with the right mouse button changes 0.1° in the corresponding direction. Finally the GDC ALIGN pushbutton on panel 1 stores the attitude currently set in the ASCP in the GDC, so with that the GDC can be aligned to a given attitude (the IMU attitude for instance).
