I can give a photograph of the front panel and can discribe each control
like push button and relays etc or can create figure with wmf images.
Which you think may be the best from user perspective ??

Good-quality graphics are almost always better in this situation. They
lack the visual clutter present in photos and allow you to clearly
highlight what is important (push-buttons, etc.).
