Regions of the Configuration Page
Above the ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’ buttons (always present) there are 5 main regions:
• A graphic representation of the NV9642 panel.
On the right are 34 function button images. Click on a button to assign a function to it. In
some cases, you can click or double-click certain buttons to execute the button function.
Double-clicking a ‘Navigate’ button, for instance, causes the button’s “subpage” to appear.
 The image of the alphanumeric display is not used. The images of the fixed up/down
buttons, just to the right of the image of the display, are not used.
Double-clicking a ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’ button (not the same as a fixed up or down but-
ton) allows you to scroll through multi-destination pages that are represented in the image
of the alphanumeric page.
Buttons can be illuminated in several colors: green, amber, yellow, red, blue, purple, and
grey. There are 3 levels of illumination: high tally (bright), low tally (muted) and off. Unde-
fined buttons are turned off (dark) on the actual panel and are gray in the configuration
page.
 Buttons disabled during operation have text, but are dark on the control panel. Unde-
fined buttons are dark and have no text.
• Button definitions.
In this section, configurers make button assignments, using its pull-down menus and text
fields. The menus and fields vary with the button type.
See Button Definitions , following.
• Button page table.
This section — the region below the button definition section — displays a list of the individ-
ual pages of the tree structure. The button page at the top of the list (or root of the tree) is
called “Default.”
During operation, category buttons can display device subpages when pressed. Those sub-
pages are not definable in NV9000-SE Utilities. The button page list does not display the
device subpages accessed through category buttons. Category buttons can also display suf-
fix pages when pressed. Suffix pages are included in the button page table.
See Button Page List on page 33.
• GPIO definitions.
In this section, configurers may define GPIO logic. The control panel has a rear connector
that provides 4 relay outputs and 8 optically isolated inputs. See
GPIO , page 69, for more
information. (Note that the graphical buttons represent connector terminals and not actual
buttons.)
• Panel options.
In this section, configurers may specify the behavioral characteristics of the panel.
• Display options.
In this section, configurers may partially specify the behavior of the display when the panel
is in X-Y mode.
In X-Y mode, the display shows 3 lines of level information. (The display also scrolls by 3 lines
at a time.) The display options let you specify explicitly what levels appear on those 3 lines.
The specification applies, however, only to the first page of the level display.
