How can you confirm ECS has Local Status in electronic local on ELES?

Confirming that the ECS (Electronic Control System) has Local Status in electronic local on ELES (Enhanced Launch Control System) is indicated by a green "local" light. This green indicator signals that the system is functioning in local mode, meaning it is ready for operations that require local control rather than remote or automated control.

The presence of the green light provides a visual confirmation to the operator that the ECS is properly set to local status, ensuring that the necessary systems can be managed directly without reliance on external commands. This is critical for maintaining control and ensuring operational readiness during launch procedures.

Other signals, such as a red light, would typically indicate a fault or error condition, and no light indicator could imply that the system is powered off or not functioning correctly. An audible alarm often signifies a warning or alert condition that needs immediate attention, rather than confirming the status. Therefore, the green "local" light serves as the clear and direct indicator needed in this context.
