page.” See
on page 39. A device list, if it is long, spans more than one but-
ton page.
At present, there are 35 button types, not including “undefined” which is not a true button type:
Back
Redisplay the previous button page. (The previous buttons become active.)
A back button may have any legend and be any color, but typically its legend is just “BACK” and
typically, its color is blue, as for back buttons generated automatically for lists. A back button is
never high-tally.
A back button has no effect on the contents of the alphanumeric display.
.
Broadcast
A broadcast button applies to a data (or machine control) level only. The button assigns one
controlling device (the master) to multiple controlled devices (the slaves). The function is useful
in dubbing applications. See
on page 61 for more information.
Pressing the ‘Broadcast’ button turns off the ‘Source is Master’ button and vice versa.
The default button text is “Broadcast” but a broadcast button can have any legend.
Category
A category button either (1) displays a category’s device list or (2) displays a “suffix page.” See
on page 39. A category button is associated with either a source category or
destination category.
The button text is normally the category name, but the configurer can give it any text. Category
names tend to be short.
Device List
When you press a category button, the NV9642 displays the first of perhaps several pages of
device buttons. You can scroll the pages using back and forward buttons. If you press ‘Back’
while on the first page of the list, the NV9642 returns to the page containing the category
button.
