Configuration
Single-Destination Mode
Unless you will always have fewer than 8 levels defined and 8 or fewer MD destinations
defined, it is advisable to place exactly 8 selection buttons on your button page. It is obvi-
ously advisable to position the selection buttons in order on the button page.
To review the virtual levels and their display indexes, go to the 'Level Sets' page in NV9000-
SE Utilities and view any level set in your configuration.
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.
The simplest form presents a group of "quick source" buttons. This illustration shows 25 quick
source buttons, coupled with a few navigation buttons for (1) selecting a destination and (2)
other functions:
If you configure a default destination in the panel options, all the quick sources could be taken
to a (single) default destination with no need for destination selection.
Other more complex forms of "single-destination" mode are conceivable.
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices that the operator may use
in the ways supported by MD mode. You can configure a panel to have from 8 to 512 MD desti-
nations in increments of 8 destinations. Not all of those need be used. Those that are not used
are considered "undefined. "
It is possible to have duplicate entries in the MD destination set. For example, it might be
useful to have one or two MD destinations available at all times.
Multi-destination configuration uses the display portion of the panel graphic in the panel
configuration page. It also uses 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' buttons — also in the panel graphic
— to select a group of MD destinations that will appear in the display. The display scrolls by 8
lines when you click a scroll button.
You should make sure your configuration page shows a 'Page Up' and a 'Page Down' button
if you intend to configure more than 8 MD destinations.
