A global navigation page should at least have a back button.
Composing Suffix Templates
Suffix templates have only a few button types. Essentially what you can do with a suffix
template is create a "keypad. " This is an example:
The keypad itself consists of 'Category' buttons. The designation "category button" has little
relation to "category buttons" in panel configurations. Here, the category button simply places a
numeral or a suffix on the button page. When the operator presses a numeral or a suffix, the
numeral or suffix is appended to the mnemonic of the device being identified.
It is an NV9000-SE Utilities feature that certain numerals become disabled if there is no
device index in the category that contains that numeral. It is possible for all numerals to be
disabled. For example, if there are 23 devices in the category that caused the suffix page to
be displayed, then after the operator presses two numerals, all further entry is disabled.
It is logical to include a 'Take' button on suffix templates used by source categories. It is not
logical to include a 'Take' button on suffix templates used by destination categories.
However, if a suffix template can be used for either sources or destinations, then a 'Take'
button is at your discretion.
The operator can use a 'Clear Preset' button to cancel a mistaken entry and start over.
Every suffix template must have a 'Back' button, and may have a 'Take' button, a 'Clear Preset'
button, or a 'Hold' button. There are no other button types. You can duplicate buttons. The
arrangement of the "keypad" is at your discretion.
Template Changes
If you make a change to a suffix template and it is in use (you'll see the entries in the list) you'll
probably want to click 'Push changes to panel configs' . When you do, the configuration software
adjusts all NV9640 panel configurations to use the modified suffix template. This might override
changes you have made to the copy of the suffix page in some panel configuration.
