(In hold mode, the MD devices remain selected after the take.)
Display Indexes
You can configure selection buttons on any of your button pages. During configuration,
when you assign a selection button, an additional drop-down menu appears: 'Display
Index' .
The drop-down menu for the button's display index has as many entries as there are
selection buttons. Creating a new selection button creates a new display index.
It is possible but probably wasteful for two or more selection buttons to have the same
display index.
Single-Destination "Mode"
The panel, when it is in server mode, is — by definition — a single-destination panel. (The
destination is defined as a panel option at configuration.)
This does not contradict the idea that the server can assign destinations to its associ-
ated NV9648 clients.
The panel, in either LCD XY/MD or NV9609 mode, can be configured as a single-destination
panel by defining a default destination during configuration and providing no destination
selection buttons.
Other more complex forms of "single-destination mode" are conceivable.
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices. You can configure a
panel to have from 8 to 512 MD destinations 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 visible at all times.
You should make sure your configuration includes a 'Page Up' and a 'Page Down'
button if the operator will be required to scroll through MD devices.
The limit to the number of MD devices is a panel option. If the limit is 64, for example, the
display can scroll through 8 pages of 8 rows, regardless of whether these rows have been
assigned a destination. Similarly, the operator could scroll through 4 pages of 16 selection
buttons.
How to Configure MD Devices
Follow these guidelines.
1 Go to the NV9649 configuration page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
2 Click any button in the panel image. In the button definition section, choose 'Selection'
from the drop-down list.
A 'Display Index' field and an 'Edit Multi-Dest Devices' button appear in the button
definition section.
