In MD mode, the preset column indicates the sources that will be routed to selected destina-
tions in the ‘Level/Dest’ column. After the take, they disappear from the preset column and
re-appear in the status column.
•
Information (not labeled).
In X-Y mode, the third entry identifies the current destination. In MD mode, there are no
entries in this column other than “MultiDest” and the page number.
The bottom-most entry in this column is always the page number of the display.
The display fields can show either names from a name set or the system mnemonics.
Tally Interface
At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The
outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated.

Modes of Operation
The primary modes of operation are:
•
X-Y mode
—
individual control of all router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose
desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired route.
•
Multi-destination mode
—
lets you control multiple destinations. Select a destination using
selection buttons, choose a source, and repeat for all desired routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes
are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed.
•
Single-destination mode.
Single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but it is a mode on some other panels and
can be simulated on the NV9640(A). It can be combined with the other two modes.
The secondary modes of panel operation are:
•
Setup mode
—
where the NV9640A is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-
work. In this mode, you can set the panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
•
Salvo mode
—
pressing a Salvo button (and then the ‘Take’ button) executes a salvo.
•
Menu mode
—
pressing a Menu button places the NV9640(A) in “menu” mode. In menu
mode, the LCD button array becomes a menu that changes as needed during menu opera-
tion.
Other modes of operation are:
•
Hold mode.
•
Save preset mode.
