Summary
The NV9654 has a “multi-page” user interface. Each of its 54 buttons (illuminated in various
colors and having 3 lines of text) can either (1) execute a function or (2) select another button
page (i.e., present another set of functions). The number of different button pages is not limited.
Panel operators navigate to different button pages to perform different tasks.
We say that the user interface is tree-structured (or hierarchical) although it is not always a “tree”
in the strictest sense. (It is possible to construct a tree-like graph of the button pages.)
Fifteen of the NV9654’s buttons — a 5×3 button array at the left of the panel — can optionally
be configured as an alphanumeric display that presents the status of operations as they occur.
An NV9654 configuration typically provides ‘Page Up’ button and ‘Page Down’ buttons with
which the operator can scroll the display. The operator can turn the display on and off.
At the rear of the panel, a DB25 connector supports 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs.
NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9654. Figure 4-1, following,
shows the default NV9654 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.
Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration
You must create configurations for the NV9654 using NV9000-SE Utilities. We assume that you
are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the following material. It
is not difficult material, but some of the concepts might not be familiar to everyone.
It takes only a few seconds to add a new panel configuration.
