Buttons are also color-coded. The colors are specified in the NV9640 configuration. In most
cases, buttons that are high-tally (bright) are active or selected. Buttons that are low-tally
(muted) are inactive or unselected. Buttons that are dark either have no function or are momen-
tarily disabled. As an example, a 'Take' button is disabled until you have a destination and a
source selected. Then, the 'Take' button goes high tally (red, by default).
By default, category buttons show the category mnemonic and source buttons show the source
device mnemonic. By default, destination buttons show the destination device mnemonic and
salvo buttons show the salvo mnemonic.
Of particular interest are the legends on the selection buttons and the 'X-Y Display' button in
both X-Y and multi-destination modes. These buttons carry 3 lines of important information.
Levels
In X-Y mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of virtual levels that you can select and
deselect for breakaway takes. Call them "level" buttons for the sake of simplicity. You can also
use the level buttons to perform level-mapping. See the
If you have more levels than buttons, you can use 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' scroll buttons to
view all the levels. (Those buttons are disabled when there is nothing to scroll.) There are 3
options for scrolling:
1 Scrolling the display only. The items on the selection buttons do not scroll.
2 Scrolling the selection buttons only. The items on the display do not scroll.
3 Scrolling both the display and the selection buttons at the same time. This behavior can
occur only when the panel has no 'VFD/SEL Toggle' button.
If the panel has a 'VFD/SEL Toggle' button, you can switch between options 1 and 2. The button
will read either "Paging VFD" or "Paging Sel Buttons. "
When you scroll the selection buttons, they scroll modulo the number of buttons. For instance, if
there are 9 buttons, they scroll in groups of 9 items.
The display shows up to 8 levels at a time, as determined by the current destination:

The recommended configuration has 8 selection buttons — each button matches a line in the
display. It is possible for your panel to have more or fewer than 8 selection buttons on any
particular button page.
In X-Y mode, the selection buttons represent levels. Each button displays 3 lines of text:
