English term or phrase: at-a-glance indicator

Bonjour. J'ai besoin de votre aide concernant une formulation. Le terme n'est pas technique mais je ne sais comment le traduire dans ce contexte.

"The front of the main control unit presents the at-a-glance system status lights and alarm sounder."

"Relevant at-a-glance indicators green or amber on."

Les témoins lumineux en question donnent un aperçu de l'état du système, mais comment les qualifier ?

Je vous remercie de me faire vos suggestions.

synoptique

Explanation:
Qui permet de voir un ensemble d'un seul coup d'oeil, qui donne une vue générale.
Synoptique serait plutôt la traduction de "at-a-glance system" (un synoptique). On parlerait alors des voyants du synoptique et, peut-être, par extension des voyants synoptiques (voyant=signal / témoin lumineux).

at-a-glance (indicator) renseignant d'un seul coup d'oeil

Explanation:
Je crois que c'est bien l'idée ici.
Un rapide coup d'oeil renseigne pleinement sur l'état du système, sans avoir à réfléchir pour combiner les informations affichées.
