User’s Guide
You can switch the panel between “X-Y mode” and multi-destination (MD) mode. In X-Y mode,
you 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 you can perform takes to multiple destinations
simultaneously.
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, you 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).
There are 31 button function types for a panel in LCD XY/MD mode (not counting ‘Undefined’):

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.
• 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 press a ‘Take’ button to executes a salvo. (The
duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but usually short.)
• 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
during menu operation. (Menu mode is not available under the server model.)
