Summary
The NV9616 and NV9608 are relatively complex panels. Both have 24 configurable function but-
tons and 2 dedicated scroll buttons. The NV9616 has 16 LCD button units; the NV9608 has 8.
Among the function buttons is a fixed set of 10 category buttons. You cannot configure these but-
tons as any other type of button. You can create additonal category buttons however. Category but-
tons provide category mnemonics or category suffixes, or both, and support device selection using
categories and suffixes for sources and for destinations.
The panels have dedicated take buttons. The NV9616 has 16 and the NV9608 has 8. The take but-
tons are part of the LCD button units. They operate differently in X-Y mode and MD mode.
NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9616. Figure 4-1, following,
shows the default NV9616 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.
Adding a Panel to an NV9000 Configuration
You must create configurations for the NV9616 and NV9608 using NV9000-SE Utilities. We
assume that you are familiar enough with NV9000-SE Utilities that you can understand the follow-
ing 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.
