Category During operation, the button has 3 functions:
1 Display a source category’s device list when the panel is in source mode.
2 Display a destination category’s device list when the panel is in destination
mode.
3 Present a suffix (or a digit) to be appended to a device name during category
selection.
Thus, when you configure a category button, it has 3 drop-down lists in the
button definition section: ‘Src Category’, ‘Dst Category’, and ‘Suffix’. You should
choose a category from each category list. (You may choose ‘None’ in either
category list.)
The button definition section also presents a “level set filter” drop-down list in
which you can select a level set to reduce the number of categories through
which to browse.
Each category button displays 2 lines of text: (1) either the source category name
or the destination category name, and (2) suffix text, in that order. If the button
has no suffix text, the second line shows dashes.
When the operator first presses a category button, the category mnemonic
appears in the ‘Preset’ display. After the category is thus selected, the operator
uses a keypad (button array) to enter the device index within the category. (The
keypad is a set of category buttons to which indexes or suffixes have been
assigned.)
Pressing a category button when the panel is in source mode starts the
“construction” of a source device name. Pressing a category button when the
panel is in destination mode starts the “construction” of a destination name.
 Operators can also use the knob to scroll through sources or destinations
after choosing a category.
The default button text is the category name. You can override the default text.
See Category List on page 27.
 Note that category buttons in server mode function differently from cate-
gory buttons under LCD XY/MD mode and NV9609 mode. There are
differences in the configuration of these buttons too.
Chop When a chop function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that
enables and disables rapid switching of the selected destination device between
the current source and the preset source. This chop function is used to test
system timing.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
Clear The button reverts to the most recent preset. You may think of this as a “back-
space key.” It erases the suffixes you entered under category select in reverse
order. Operators can press ‘Clear’ multiple times; each press is another
