User’s Guide
Free Source The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release or
“free” devices on the data (machine control) level. A free source is also used with
tielines to free the tieline for others to use. The free source is defined in the Level
Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
Level The button selects a level.
The button definition has one field to configure: the level.
If the panel has multiple level buttons, operators can select multiple levels. When
all level buttons are selected, a take is “all-level.” When one or more level buttons
are selected, a take occurs on those levels. (If a panel has a level button for all
levels of the current destination, and they are all selected, that condition would
be “all level” too.)
You must select levels before selecting the source, otherwise multi-level takes do
not work. They are all level.
(Multi-level takes — and level buttons — are not available in level mode.)
Operators that want to examine the levels of a destination may press ‘Level
Mode’ and scroll through the levels. The ‘Status’ display shows the source for
each individual level as you scroll and shows whether the source is a breakaway
source.
Level Mode The button toggles the panel in and out of level mode. “All Level” appears in the
‘Info’ display when level mode is off.
Level mode allows operators (1) to examine the levels of the current destination
and (2) to perform single-level takes.
Source buttons and destination buttons, and some other button types, are
disabled in level mode. The only means to select a source are source category
buttons.
The operator must start the selection of a source (using a category button) while
in level mode for single-level breakaway. The panel exits level mode when the
operator starts the source selection. The level chosen in level mode remains in
effect for the take.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
Menu This button puts the NV9649 panel in menu mode and displays a menu on the
buttons that provides access to a variety of panel functions. Without the button,
the operator has no access to the menu functions.
By pressing certain buttons, the operator makes menu selections and may enter
data (such as panel ID) or change brightness values. When the panel is in menu
mode, the menu button cycles through the functions of the menu. See
Menu
Mode on page 114.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
