Button Functions for LCD XY/MD mode
These are the button types available for NV9649 configurations under the LCD XY/MD model:
Type Description (under LCD XY/MD Mode)
Back The ‘Back’ function places the predecessor of the current button page on the
panel.
The panel software can introduce a “back” button if an automatically generated
list has more entries than can fit on a page.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary (except
that it is always “Back” when placed on a page by the system).
Broadcast On the data (machine control) level, the button enables a broadcast take to an
additional controlled device, after a broadcast route has been initiated with a
“source is master” control-level take to the first controlled device.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
A broadcast button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redun-
dant) device is in use. See
Broadcast Routes on page 90.
See also the Source Master button, following.
Category Pressing the button displays a category’s device list.
 Note that category buttons in LCD XY/MD mode function differently from
category buttons under server mode and NV9609 mode. There are differ-
ences in the configuration of these buttons too.
When you configure a category button, two drop-down lists appear:
‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’. Choose a category from one of the category
lists. When you choose a source category, the destination categories become
inaccessible and vice versa: a category button must be either a source category
or a destination category. You must choose ‘None’ in either category list to
switch to the other category list.
When you choose either ‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’, the ‘Use global suffix
page to select devices’ checkbox becomes enabled and a ‘Suffix Page’ drop-
down menu appears. You can select a suffix template in the drop-down menu.
If you choose a suffix template, when the operator clicks the category button,
the suffix page appears. If you do not, a list of devices in the category appears.
The list might span several pages. See
Global Navigation on page 75 for further
detail. (The suffix page is intended to give the operator a keypad with which to
enter device suffixes or indexes.)
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.
The default button text is the category name. You can override the default text.
