Operation
Operating Concepts
The nature of source buttons differs according to the NV9607 panel’s configured operating
mode:
• Single-destination, single-destination with breakaway, and limited X-Y modes
A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source “page” 1
and the second source belongs to source “page” 2. Pressing a ‘Source Shift’ button toggles
the panel between source page 1 and page 2.
• Multi-destination mode
A source button can select one of two sources, as in the other modes, and it selects a desti-
nation.
Typically several source buttons (in MD mode) will share the same destination. Other groups
of source buttons will also share their own common destination.
The destination for a source button does not change under a source shift.
See the NV9607 User’s Guide for more information.
All Source is Master
Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destina-
tion is the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control routes.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-tally); press it
again to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” machine control routes. See the
NV9607 User’s Guide for more information.
During data level (i.e., machine control) takes, this button makes the source device the master.
Otherwise, the destination is the master.
The button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing. For example, if the destination
is the master and the source is the slave, pressing a ‘Source is Master’ button reverses their roles.
Pressing the button again reverses the roles.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is used to initiate “broadcast” control routes. See the NV9607 User’s
Guide for more information.
The panel can be configured so that “source is master” is the default state or so that “destination
is master” is the default. The button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is
master.”
 Pressing the ‘Source is Master’ button turns off the ‘Broadcast’ button and vice versa.
All Source Shift
The ‘Source Shift’ button toggles between the first and second source “pages.”
The button affects the operation of any source button (in any mode). Source buttons represent
two sources (and, in multi-destination mode, a destination). One source belongs to source
“page” 1 and the other belongs to source “page” 2.
L, All Undefined
An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel. The term “unde-
fined” has meaning primarily to the configurer.
