How to Configure Selection Buttons
Follow these steps to assign virtual levels and MD devices to selection buttons.
1 Decide how many selection buttons you want on the button page. We strongly recommend
8 selection buttons. Create those selection buttons by clicking on the buttons and choosing
‘Selection’ as the button type. For each one, assign the button a display index. (Display
indexes range from 1 to 8.)
2 Choose a number of MD destinations (in multiples of 8) in the ‘Multidest Device Limit’ box
under the panel options. The maximum is 512.
3 For each selection button, choose an MD destination. You may use ‘none’ if you do not want
to assign an MD destination to the button.
4 Press the down button if, after configuring each selection button, you have additional MD
destinations to commit to selection buttons. The next set of selection buttons appears on
the NV9642 image.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have committed all the MD destinations that you want.
Remember that MD destinations (and virtual levels) scroll modulo the number of buttons on
the page.
When you are done, the selection buttons you have defined support some or all virtual levels
and support some or all MD devices.
Single-Destination Mode
Single-destination mode (a.k.a., “single-bus” or “button-per-source” mode) can be emulated in
either X-Y mode or MD mode.
Single-destination mode is not a distinct mode. It can be blended with either of the other two
modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination” mode. This mode need not
have a single destination.
The simplest form presents a group of “quick source” buttons. This illustration shows 25 quick
source buttons, coupled with a few navigation buttons for (1) selecting a destination and (2)
other functions:
If you configure a default destination in the panel options, all the quick sources could be taken
to a (single) default destination with no need for destination selection.
Other more complex forms of “single-destination” mode are conceivable.
