• Dedicated functions, such as 'Default State' or 'Chop' .
• Variable functions, such as 'Category' or 'Source' . With this type of button, additional
selections are needed to complete the button configuration.
• Special functions, such as 'Menu' and 'Salvo' .

Button Specification

The button definition section configures the button you have selected in the image of the
panel:
When you choose a button type, additional drop-down menus can appear, depending on
the button type, allowing you to further specify the button's behavior. Available options
and selections vary from button type to button type.
Note:
During configuration, certain button fields contain a colon (:) and a number after the
data in the field. The number is the record ID of the object in the NV9000 configuration
database. The record IDs can be ignored but might be of some use when the configurer
is searching for items in the configuration database.
