User’s Guide
To perform device selection by category list:
1 Place the panel in either source mode or destination mode, as you need.
2 Turn the knob until the desired device category mnemonic appears in the ‘Preset’ display.
Then press the knob to select that category.
3 When the category has been selected, you can now either turn the knob to select a device
within the category, or press suffix buttons to “build” a device name from the category mne-
monic and the suffixes you press. You can actually use both techniques to select a device in
the category.
(You can press a ‘Clear’ button if you make a mistake. ‘Clear’ removes the most recently entered
suffix.)
Procedure I — Perform Device Selection using Category Pages
An NV9649 panel in server mode can be configured to allow operators to perform device selec-
tion using category pages. When the NV9649 is so configured, it shows ‘CatPages’ in the ‘Info’
display. This method also involves use the panel’s knob.
To perform device selection by category page:
1 Place the panel in either source mode or destination mode, as required.
If any category buttons are already showing on the 16-button array at the right of the panel,
you can use those category buttons to select a category (and then skip to step 4 below).
2 Turn the knob until the desired category page appears (on the 16 buttons at the right). Then
press one of those buttons to select that category.
The different category page names show in the ‘Info’ display as you turn the knob.
3 When you have selected a category, the first of the suffix pages (if any have been defined)
appears. If no suffix pages have been defined, the 16 buttons will be blank and you must use
step 4b below.
4 You now have a choice: (a) use the suffix pages, appending suffixes to the category mme-
monic, or (b) use the knob to scroll through device names.
a Use the suffix pages.
You will form a device name by appending suffixes to the category mnemonic. You may
press any suffix button in any suffix page. Use the panel’s knob to scroll through suffix
pages.
When you stop entering suffixes, the device is considered selected.
b Use the knob to scroll through devices.
To use this method of device selection, you must press the knob. Whenyou do so, the
panel enters a mode in which you can turn the knob to scroll through the list of devices
that belong to the category selected in step 2.
When you stop turning the knob, the device is considered selected.
(You can press a ‘Clear’ button if you make a mistake. ‘Clear’ removes the most recently entered
suffix.)
