When the Jupiter receives commands from its serial port, the Jupiter goes
into pegasus eumulation mode. Once in this mode, the jupiter display
changes to show the pegasus horse. In this mode, the front panel is
completely disabled. The Jupiter will stay in this mode until it does not
receive commands from the serial port for 2 seconds, at which time, the
front panel will again become active and the Jupiter will return to the
settings it had before entering pegasus emulation mode.
