Operation
Operating Concepts
Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9649 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9649's panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks.
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9649 in salvo mode, where it is
expected that the operator will choose a salvo and then press a 'Take' button to
executes a salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9649 in "menu" mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that
changes as needed during menu operation. (Menu mode is not available under the
server model.)
When the panel is not in setup mode, salvo mode, or menu mode, we say it is in normal
mode. Normal mode might or might not include level mode.
Special Modes
When the panel is in server mode or NV9609 mode, two additional modes can be applied:
• Source mode — when the operator places the panel in source mode, category buttons
produce source lists and, under server mode only, operations involving NV9649s refer
to sources.
• Destination mode — when the operator places the panel in destination mode, category
buttons produce destination lists and, under server mode only, operations involving
NV9649s refer to destinations.
When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, one additional mode can be applied:
• Hold mode — when the operator has pressed a 'Hold Preset' button. See
Buttons, on page 65.
Operating Concepts
Saved Client Assignments
Every time an operator assigns a destination to an NV9649 client or assigns a source to a
source button of a client, those assignments are recorded within the NV9000 system
controller. Therefore, if and when the system undergoes a power cycle, the assignments
made for all the NV9649 clients are preserved. The typical NV9649-NV9649 configuration
has multiple NV9649s. The source and destination assignments of all the NV9649 clients of
the NV9649 are a "set of client assignments. "
A set of client assignments is called a "setup. "
The panel can be configured so that it will allow up to 12 different "setups. " One setup is
always present and is the default setup. The other 11 setups are optional. Configurers and
operators can collaborate on exactly how these 12 setups are used. For instance, different
setups can be assigned to different operators or perhaps be used at different times of the
day.
