Buttons
The NV9641A has four classes of button functions:
•
Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ or ‘Chop’.
•
Variable functions, such as ‘Category’ or ‘Source’. A category button identifies a specific cate-
gory. A source button identifies a specific source. A button page can contain more than one
category or source. Often, category lists and source lists span multiple pages.
•
Special functions, such as ‘Navigate’, ‘Back’, and ‘Forward’. These functions allow the panel
operator to move from one button page to another.
•
System-generated button functions. When you press a category button, the router control
system generates a list of devices belonging to the category. The device list, if it is long,
spans more than one button page.
At present, there are 32 button types, not including “undefined” which is not a true button type:
