Summary
The NV9642 has a “multi-page” user interface. Each of its 34 buttons (illuminated in various
colors and having 3 lines of text) can either (1) execute a function or (2) select another button
page (i.e., present an entirely new set of functions). The set of button pages is not limited in size.
Panel operators navigate to different button pages to perform different tasks.
We say that the user interface is tree-structured (or hierarchical) although it is not always a “tree”
in the strictest sense. (You can construct a tree-like graph of the button pages.)
The NV9642, in addition, has an 4×22 alphanumeric display that presents the status of opera-
tions as they occur. The NV9642 panel has up and down buttons next to the display with which
the operator can scroll the display.
At the rear of the panel, a DB25 connector supports 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs.
NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9642. Figure 4-1, following,
shows the default NV9642 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.
Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration
You must create configurations for the NV9642 using NV9000-SE Utilities. We assume that you
are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the following material. It
is not difficult material, but some of the concepts might not be familiar to everyone.
It takes only a few seconds to add a new panel configuration.
