User’s Guide
 Note that category buttons in server mode function differently from category buttons under
LCD XY/MD mode and NV9609 mode. There are differences in the configuration of these
buttons too.
 The names of devices in categories are composed of the category name followed by one or
more suffixes. NV9000-SE Utilities allows configurers to designate a separator character
which is inserted between the parts of the device name. (Device names are limited to 8 char-
acters, however.)
 You can also perform device selection either by category list or by category pages using the
panel’s knob. See
Procedure H — Perform Device Selection by Category List on page 112
and Procedure I — Perform Device Selection using Category Pages on page 113.
Chop
When a “chop” function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and
disables “chop.” Chop is a rapid switching of the selected destination device between the
current source and the preset source.
The chop function is used to test system timing and would not be used during normal
operation.
The default button text is “Chop” but a chop button can have any legend.
Select a preset source and press ‘Chop’ to start the chop function. Press ‘Chop’ again to stop the
chop function.
Clear
The ‘Clear’ button reverts the panel to the most recent preset state. (It does not cause any
changes to the routers, control system, or its signals.)
You may think of this as a “backspace” or “cancel” key. During category/suffix device selection, it
erases the suffixes you entered in reverse order.
(If you are in level mode or in salvo mode, ‘Clear’ brings you back to normal mode.)
Destination Lock
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be
removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a
forced release at any panel.
 The NV9649 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a destination is
locked or unlocked.
Destination Mode
The button places the panel in destination mode. Category selections in destination mode
select destination devices. Category buttons that are not configured with destination categories
become disabled.
When the panel is in destination mode, you can assign a destination to a control unit of an
associated NV9648. See
Operating Methods on page 110.
Destination devices are represented on the ‘Destination’ display.
