Multi-Destination Configuration
A panel configured in multi-destination mode has source buttons that represent 2 sources
and a destination. Pressing a source button selects the source and the destination and
performs an immediate take — to the destination assigned to the source button. (A source
shift button switches between the two sources of the source buttons.)
Potentially, all 36 buttons of a NV9605 could be source buttons, each having a unique
destination. Thus, at that extreme, a panel in multi-destination mode could represent 36
destinations in each of the its 4 pages (a total of 144 destinations) and give operators the
choice of two sources for each destination.
A more typical multi-destination configuration will present fewer destinations, organized in
button clusters on the panel. This organization, for example, provides 8 destinations with
up to 8 sources available for each one, with the 4 buttons on the right assigned to other
functions:
Dest A
Each of the 4 pages has 8 destinations with 8 sources for each (assuming a 'Source Shift'
button on the right). The destinations on different pages can all be different or there can be
some duplication. The multiple sources available can all be different or, again, there can be

Description
M, X
Means "source is the master" and makes the source device the
master. Otherwise, the destination is the master. This button (and
these concepts) apply only to machine control routes.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master
(it goes high-tally); press it again to make the destination the
master (the button is low-tally).
A panel option allows you to make "source is master" the default. In
this case, the button still toggles between "source is master" and
"destination is master, " and the button, if present, is high-tally by
default.
M, X
The button toggles between the first and second sets of sources.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
The button affects the operation of any source button (in either
limited X-Y mode or multi-destination mode). Source buttons
represent two sources. One belongs to one source set and the
other belongs to the other source set.
This button type can be used in either mode.
—
This button type is a placeholder: during configuration, it makes
the button undefined and inactive. On the actual panel, the
undefined button remains unlit (dark).
