Selection Buttons
Beneath the display are 8 selection buttons. The buttons correspond to the lines of the
display. Each button selects the item on the corresponding line. The left button
corresponds to line 1 (the top line). The rightmost button corresponds to line 8 (the bottom
line).
Selection buttons can be used in any mode.
Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either X-Y mode or multi-destination (MD) mode. A single button
(XY/MD) can toggle between the modes. A third mode
— called “single-bus,” “single-
destination,” or “button-per-source” mode — can be emulated in either X-Y mode or MD
mode.
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. The display shows
destinations and their sources. You can scroll through destination lists using the ‘Page
Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons. 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.

A ‘Hold’ button allows you to select many MD destinations at once.
The secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9601 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
panel network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9601’s panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks.
• Salvo mode — the operator presses a Salvo button to enter salvo mode where the
display lists both system salvos and local salvos. The operator may select a salvo and
then the ‘Take’ button to execute a salvo. (The duration of a salvo is indeterminate.)
• Menu mode — pressing a Menu button places the NV9601 in “menu” mode. In menu
mode, the display shows a menu that changes as needed during menu operation.
Operators pick menu items using selection buttons.
• Information mode — pressing an ‘Information’ button (when there is information to
display) places the NV9601 in “information” mode. In information mode, the display
reports information such as level mappings.
 Information is available, for example, when a plus sign appears next to a level in the
display under X-Y mode.
Other modes of operation are:
• Hold mode — when the operator presses the ‘Hold’ button, hold mode becomes active
and when the operator presses it again, hold mode becomes inactive. See Hold on
page 45 .
