This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9641A panel operator.
Summary
As an NV9641A operator, you will be confronted initially with a small panel — 16 buttons of
various colors with brief legends and certain color codes.
Your NV9641A will be configured according to one of two behavioral models:
•
XY/MD
The XY/MD model supports a tree of different button pages and gives you the choice of X-Y
mode (multiple levels, single destination) or MD mode (all levels, multiple destinations) at
any time.
• Paging
Under the paging model, the panel presents button pages in a list through which you may
scroll, and supports what can be called limited X-Y operation. That is, paging mode allows
single-source, single-destination takes on all levels (of the selected destination).
 The panel uses one model or the other. You cannot switch between the models.
Because the XY/MD model is "hierarchical" or tree-structured, you can view, at any one time, one
button "page" of a potentially large number of pages in the hierarchy of a button "tree. " Pressing
certain buttons — navigation buttons, for example — causes the panel to display different
button "pages. "
Because the paging model is list-structured, you can scroll through the pages using the up and
down buttons at the right of the panel. The paging model is simpler than the XY/MD model.
The design of the user interface is entirely at the discretion of the configurer. You, the user,
depend on the configurer having designed a logical and usable tree or list structure.
The user interface of an NV9641A in one installation can be radically different from the user
interface of an NV9641A in another installation. It is impossible to describe operations in great
detail because there is no one interface. What we can do, however, is give you general advice
and, of course, specific information on the behavior of the different button types and opera-
tional modes.
