Introduction
Additional Modes
‘NV9609 Panel’ Mode
When the panel is in “NV9609” mode, it functions exactly like an NV9609, but with buttons that
have LCD legends instead of backlit simple buttons.
In this mode, the panel operates standalone, without regard to any NV9648s.
Please refer to the NV9609 Users Guide for more detail.
‘LCD XY/MD’ Mode
When the panel is in LCD XY/MD mode, it operates standalone, without regard to any NV9648s,
and has a moderately richer function set than a panel in the other two modes.
The panel’s buttons can be used in a hierarchical fashion: pressing a ‘navigation’ button causes
the panel to display a new set of configured button functions, called a “button page.” There can
be many such pages, organized in a configurable tree structure.
The operator can switch the panel between “X-Y mode” and multi-destination (MD) mode. In
X-Y mode, the operator can perform takes (and locks) on individually selected levels for a single
destination at a time. In MD mode, takes occur on all levels, but the operator can perform takes
to multiple destinations simultaneously.
In LCD XY/MD mode, the panel supports the use of multiple ‘selection’ buttons. When the panel
is in X-Y mode, the selection buttons select levels. When the panel is in MD mode, the selection
buttons select MD devices (which are destinations). If there are more levels (or more MD
devices) than there are selection buttons, the operator can press a ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’
button to scroll through the list of levels (or, in MD mode, the list of MD devices).
Additional Modes
Level Mode
When the panel is operating under the NV9609 model, operators can switch the panel in and
out of level mode (if the panel has a ‘Level Mode’ button). Level mode allows you to select one of
the destination’s levels (by scrolling). A take in level mode is a single-level breakaway.
When the panel is not in level mode, takes occur on either all levels or selected levels of the
current destination. Takes on all levels are said to be “all level.”
If the panel has multiple ‘Level’ buttons, operators can perform multiple-level breakaway.
Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9649 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-
work. In this mode, you can preset the NV9649’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
See
Setup Mode on page 123
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9649 in salvo mode, where it is expected
that the operator will choose a salvo and then the ‘Take’ button to executes a salvo. (The
duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.) See
Salvo Mode on page 114.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9649 in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed
