Chop
When a "chop" function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and
disables "chop. " Chop is a rapid switching of the selected destination device between the
current source and the preset source.
The chop function is used to test system timing and would not be used during normal
operation.
The default button text is "Chop" but a chop button can have any legend.
Select a preset source and press 'Chop' to start the chop function. Press 'Chop' again to stop
the chop function.
Clear
The 'Clear' button reverts the panel to the most recent preset. (It does not cause any
changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.)
You may think of this as a "backspace" or "cancel" key. During category/suffix device
selection, it erases the suffixes you entered in reverse order.
(If you are in level mode or in salvo mode, 'Clear' brings you back to normal mode.)
Destination
The button selects a destination. The destination name appears in the 'Destination' display.
The destination is the target of an upcoming take, which will route a source to that
destination.
Pressing a destination button has two side effects: it clears — or partially clears — the
'Preset' display, and (2) it turns off the 'Take' button if it is on.
Destination Mode
The button places the panel in destination mode. Category selections in destination mode
select destination devices. Category buttons that are not configured with destination
categories become disabled.
Destination devices are represented on the 'Destination' display.
Categories that include both source and destinations appear in both source mode and
destination mode.
Destination Lock
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be
removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by
a forced release at any panel.
The NV9649 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is
locked or unlocked.
