NV9601 Control Panel • User’s Guide 33
6. Operation
This section is intended for the operator of the control panel. The section is organized by either task
name (e.g., Breakaway) or button name (e.g., Take), and is organized in alphabetical order for
quick reference.
The buttons that display on the control panel can change dramatically from panel to panel depend-
ing on the configuration. Because there is no one panel configuration, it is impossible to describe
all operations in great detail. However, this section does provide general advice and specific infor-
mation on the behavior of the different button types and operational modes.
For hardware control panels, the buttons can have arbitrary legends and the legend might or might
not indicate its function. It is important to communicate with the configurer to find out the meaning
of the buttons on your particular control panel. For virtual panels, the button legends are set in the
configuration editor (NV9000-SE Utilities).
Before using the NV9601, it is recommended that you review configuration concepts (see Introduc-
tion on page 1) and panel layout and operation modes ( Using the Control Panel on page 7).
Breakaways
Breakaways are only available in X-Y mode. A breakaway is when you route to a subset of avail-
able valid levels, not to all valid levels. By default, all valid levels are automatically selected when
preparing for a “take.” By creating a breakaway, you route only to the levels you have individually
selected. For more information, see
About Levels, Level Sets and Level Mapping on page 4.
Individual levels are selected by using the selection buttons (see Selection Buttons on page 12). The
buttons act as toggles, selecting or deselecting the corresponding level in the display area. After a
“take”, the control panel returns to the default state in which all levels are selected. If you want to
have the subset of levels selected for the breakaway retained even after
Take
is pressed, press
Hold
prior to
Take
to retain your presets. When the “take” is complete, your previously selected levels are
held for the next session (see Hold on page 40).
At any time while selecting a destination or source, you can press
Clear
to clear the last entry. Press
Clear again to clear the entry prior to that, and so on until all the entries you want to clear have been
cleared. Or, press
Clear Pst
to clear the sources that display in the ‘Preset’ column (see Clear Preset
on page 38).
If needed, press
Scroll
and then
Page Up
and
Page Down
to view all devices.
For simplicity, this procedure discusses selecting a destination before a source.
