This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9654 panel operator.
Summary
As an NV9654 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small panel — 54 buttons
of various colors. As a panel option, some of the buttons at the left might be configured to
emulate an alphanumeric display. Because the NV9654 is a “hierarchical” control panel, you can
view, at any one time, one button “page” of a potentially large number of pages in the hierarchy
of a page “tree.” Pressing certain buttons
— navigation buttons — causes the panel to display
different button “pages.”
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 structure.
The user interface of an NV9654 in one installation can be radically different from the user inter-
face of an NV9654 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 operational
modes.
Because some of the panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends, a button’s legend might or
might not indicate its function. Operators and configurers will have to communicate about the
meaning of the buttons in the button tree.
The “alphanumeric display” (9 lines of 40 characters, showing 8 lines of data) shows the status of
takes (pending or complete) in X-Y mode or multi-destination mode under normal circum-
stances. The display presents information or menu items as isolated cases warrant. You can scroll
the display when necessary.
Physically, you will find
• Navigation buttons to go up or down in the button tree, or to a specific page in the tree.
• Function buttons (e.g., select a source or lock a destination).
• Lists of sources, destinations, source categories, destination categories, or salvos.
• Virtual level selection buttons (in X-Y mode) or MD device selection buttons (in MD mode).
• Status of preset and current sources and the selected destination(s).
