When the panel is locked, the button array becomes blank except for the Panel Lock button which becomes high tally red. Pressing the Panel Lock button again reverts the panel to its previous mode.
  • Page 41 NV9646 User’s Guide Type Description Selection Typically, at least one button page should provide a set of selection buttons. Operators press selection buttons to select levels (when the panel is in XY mode) or to select MD device (in MD mode). Each selection button represents one level or one MD device.
  • Page 42 Configuration Button Types Type Description Source A source button selects a source. (Note that a quick source button selects a source and also performs an immediate take.) When you assign a source button, a drop-down menu appears: ‘Source Device’ . Choose a device from the list. (The ‘None’ entry is merely a placeholder.
  • Page 43: Edit Navigation Button' Dialog

    NV9646 User’s Guide Type Description X-Y Display This button displays the current source and current destination. It is usable in both X/Y mode and MD mode. It is very useful when the panel has no display. It might be appropriate to define an ‘X-Y Display’ button in the display area. When the display is turned off, the button would become visible.
  • Page 44 Configuration ‘Edit Navigation Button’ Dialog  The button caption is independent of the page name. You can change either without affecting the other. The dialog has 3 navigation choices: • Jump to an empty new page. This option creates a new page in the button tree.

  • Page 48: Scrolling

    Configuration Scrolling You should configure at least one selection button (for feedback). You may configure as many selection buttons as are suitable for your system. For instance, if your system has a maximum of 12 levels for any device, it might make sense to have 12 selection buttons. Operators can scroll through multiple pages of levels in X-Y mode and through multiple pages of devices in MD mode.
  • Page 49: Selection Button Behavior

    NV9646 User’s Guide In ‘Display and Buttons’ mode, if the operator turns off the display, it nevertheless scrolls (or not) as it would if it were visible. When the operator turns the display on again after scrolling, it reappears correctly. Selection Button Behavior XY Mode When the panel is in XY mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of virtual levels.

    NV9646 User’s Guide Single-Destination Mode Single-destination mode (a.k.a. “single-bus” or “button-per-source” mode) can be emulated in either X-Y mode or MD mode. Single-destination mode is not a distinct mode. It can be blended with either of the other two modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination” mode. This mode need not have just one destination.

Any button page may have one or more selection buttons. The number of buttons on the page is not important unless your panel is configured so that its display and selection buttons scroll together.
  • Page 64: Lists

    Operation Lists If the panel has a ‘VFD/SEL Toggle’ button, you can switch between options 1 and 2. The button will read either “Paging VFD Display” [sic] or “Paging Select Buttons. ” When you page up or page down through MD devices on the selection buttons, the MD devices scroll on the selection buttons visible on the current button page, modulo the number of buttons.
  • Page 65: Operating Concepts

    NV9646 User’s Guide Levels or MD devices presented on the display are also considered lists, but these lists are different from, say, salvo lists. To scroll through lists of levels or MD destinations, use the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons. Operating Concepts Status for most or all operations is presented on the alphanumeric display if it is present and turned on (and occasionally on certain buttons).
  • Page 66: Hold

    Operation Hold  The NV9646, at present, ignores the concept of level groups, and presents any config- ured level groups as completely expanded. That is, it always displays basic levels and never abstract levels. Hold Hold mode (and hold buttons) apply in both X-Y mode and multi-destination mode. Breakaway In X-Y mode, a hold button retains breakaway levels after a take.
