Dashboard with switches
A control panel is a surface or interface where switches, dials, buttons, and displays are grouped for operating a machine or system: the control panel of an aircraft, a thermostat control panel.
In computing, it's a settings interface for adjusting system preferences.
The term extends to any centralized point of management: the control panel for your website.
