Tally (GPIO) Window
Below the tree window is the tally section of the configuration page.
It has two sections: inputs and outputs. By clicking on one of the input or output buttons, you
can configure the input or output.
(The NV9649 has no actual tally buttons. These buttons represent the DB25 connector at the
rear. The buttons are present in the configuration page to allow you to configure the tally
interface.)
If you are interested in configuring the tally interface, read chapter 6, GPIO , on page 127.
Global Navigation
NV9000-SE Utilities supports what are known as “global navigation” pages for NV9649 control
panels. Global navigation pages are templates
— patterns — that may be used and reused in the
creation of NV9649 configurations.
 Global navigation pages are allowed only under the LCD XY/MD model.
There are two types of global navigation pages: ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’. A navigate template may
define a single button page or an entire subtree of pages. A suffix template is a single page only.
The buttons allowed in a suffix template are a small subset of the buttons supported by NV9649
configurations. Navigate templates support all functions except ‘Global Navigate’. That is
because templates cannot be nested.
Templates themselves are not NV9649 configurations.
Follow these steps to create either type:
1 Choose ‘Control Panels’ from the ‘Configuration’ pane. Then click ‘Add Control Panel’.
2 In the ‘Add Control Panel’ page, complete the details as you would for a panel: The panel
type is NV9649. Specify a panel ID, a name, and choose ‘New’ in the options section.
3 Rather than click the ‘Next’ or ‘Finish’ button, click the ‘Suffix’ or ‘Navigate’ button. Doing so
creates a global navigation page of the appropriate type.
Using a suffix page is different from using a navigation page.
 Global suffix pages under the LCD XY/MD model have no relationship to the suffix pages
used by category pages under the ‘Panel Server’ model.
