This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9606 panel operator.
Summary
As an NV9606 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively simple panel — 68
buttons (and no display). The NV9606 can operate either as a stand-alone panel or as an exten-
sion to an NV9607. As an NV9607 extension, it follows the mode and methods of the NV9607.
The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends. Some buttons can be applied differently in
other modes (such as menu mode). Operators and configurers will have to communicate about
the meaning of the buttons.
At any particular time, some of the buttons are high-tally; some are low-tally; and some might
be undefined. Active buttons are usually of two colors, green and amber, but are sometimes red.
Red means “locked.” Green generally represents sources and source functions; amber generally
represents destinations and destination functions, but the colors are also used for other
functions.
 Please refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide (or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if you
are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.
Modes of Operation
As a stand-alone panel, the NV9606 has no modes, but can operate either as a single-destina-
tion panel (using the default destination) or it can operate as an X-Y panel.
As an NV9607 extension, it operates in one of 4 modes (or behavioral models):
• Limited X-Y Mode .
• Single-Destination Mode .
• Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway .
• Multi-Destination Mode .
The panel’s set of button functions varies with the mode (or model).
Generally, to operate the panel, you choose a destination, (possibly) choose desired breakaway
levels, and choose a source. Choosing a source for a destination completes the take unless
source preview mode is active. In that case, pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for the comple-
tion of the take. This paradigm has slight variations in the different modes.
