'LCD XY/MD' Mode

When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, it operates standalone, without regard to any
NV9648s, and has a moderately richer function set than a panel in the other two modes.
The panel's buttons can be used in a hierarchical fashion: pressing a 'navigation' button
causes the panel to display a new set of configured button functions, called a "button
page. " There can be many such pages, organized in a configurable tree structure.
The operator can switch the panel between "X-Y mode" and multi-destination (MD) mode.
In X-Y mode, the operator can perform takes (and locks) on individually selected levels for a
single destination at a time. In MD mode, takes occur on all levels, but the operator can
perform takes to multiple destinations simultaneously.
In LCD XY/MD mode, the panel supports the use of multiple 'selection' buttons. When the
panel is in X-Y mode, the selection buttons select levels. When the panel is in MD mode, the
selection buttons select MD devices (which are destinations). If there are more levels (or
more MD devices) than there are selection buttons, the operator can press a 'Page Up' or
'Page Down' button to scroll through the list of levels (or, in MD mode, the list of MD
devices).

Additional Modes

Level Mode

When the panel is operating under the NV9609 model, operators can switch the panel in
and out of level mode (if the panel has a 'Level Mode' button). Level mode allows you to
select one of the destination's levels (by scrolling). A take in level mode is a single-level
breakaway.
When the panel is not in level mode, takes occur on either all levels or selected levels of the
current destination. Takes on all levels are said to be "all level. "
If the panel has multiple 'Level' buttons, operators can perform multiple-level breakaway.

Secondary Modes

Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9649 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9649's panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks. See
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9649 in salvo mode, where it is
expected that the operator will choose a salvo and then the 'Take' button to executes a
salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.) See
page 115.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9649 in "menu" mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that
changes as needed during menu operation. See
does not have a menu in server mode.)
When the panel is not in setup mode, salvo mode, or menu mode, we say it is in normal
mode. Normal mode might or might not include level mode.
