all selectable destinations. To remove or add a flag, press the associated selection key. Selection
keys can only enable/disable one destination at a time.
When
Take
is pressed, only those destinations with a flag are included in the switch.
Please note:
• A ‘L’ indicates that a destination device has been locked. See Locks on page 42.
• A ‘P’ indicates that a destination device has been protected. See Protect on page 45.
• An ‘I’ indicates that an “implicit” lock has been applied. This only relates to bi-directional
machine control data routing because if a lock is applied in one direction, it must also be appli-
cable in the reverse direction.
Salvo Mode
A salvo is a set of pre-recorded activities such that when a salvo is executed, all pre-recorded activ-
ities occur in the exact sequence recorded. Salvos are helpful when a certain action, such as a spe-
cific “take,” is repeated over and over. Instead of having to create the switch sequence anew each
time, the operator can press the
Salvo
button and select and execute a salvo.
Salvo is a distinct mode, separate from X-Y or MD mode. When
Salvo
is pressed, salvo menu
options appear in the display area. For more information on salvos and Salvo mode, see Salvos on
page 47.
Button Use
The front of the NV9601 features several sets of buttons. Buttons are grouped by the task they per-
form: selection, function or navigation. The buttons are 24.5mm × 23.5mm with the text portion
about 20mm × 16.5mm. The hardware version has buttons that retract when pressed; the software
version has buttons that are selected by clicking on the button with a mouse pointer or a touch
screen.
The NV9601 panel buttons have both green and amber LEDs. Each button has dual color capabil-
ity, and each provides either low or high tally.
Each button features the following:
• Number or Text — Each button displays either a number, up to three lines of text, or both. For
instructions on creating button text, see Creating Button Legends on page 27.
• Color — The buttons display in either amber or green:
Amber denotes a destination or destination function; green indicates a source or a source fucn-
tion.
• Brightness — Brightness is managed through Menu mode (see Changing Button Illumination
on page 20).
How a button appears — its “state” — depends on context. Most buttons remain unlit when their
functions are disabled. For example, if
Menu
is pressed to place the control panel in Menu mode, all
buttons turn off except the buttons used to select menu options.
