Configuration
Button Types
Category Displays a category’s device list.
When you assign a category button, 4 additional drop-down menus appear:
‘Level Set Filter’, ‘Source Category’, ‘Destination Category’, and ‘Suffix’.
The level set filter allows you to restrict the list of categories according to the
level set to which the categories’ devices belong. Choose one of the level set
names in the drop-down list.
Each category button can represent a source category, a destination
category, and a suffix. When the panel is in source mode, the category
button will select its source category. When the panel is in destination mode,
the category button will select its destination category.
After a category has been selected, the suffixes on the category buttons
come into play. All of the panel’s category buttons that provide suffixes
activate when a category has been selected.
To configure the button, choose a source category and a destination
category. You can choose ‘None’ for either.
Finally, and optionally, choose a suffix from the drop-down list for suffixes.
Generally, suffixes are the numerals 0–9, but they can also be alphanumeric
and up to 4 characters in length. (You can review the available suffixes in the
‘Suffixes’ table under ‘Views’ in NV9000-SE Utilities.)
Chop When a chop function is supported by the router, the button is a toggle that
enables and disables rapid switching of the selected destination device
between the current source and the preset source. This chop function is used
to test system timing.
Clear Preset Erases preset entries, while leaving the panel in the same mode. We
recommend you use this button because it is a “safety” feature.
The clear preset button has the side effect of switching off ‘Save Preset’
mode.
Default State Returns the panel to its most recent power-up state. That is called the default
state .
Destination Selects a destination.
When you assign a destination button, a drop-down menu appears:
‘Destination Device’. Choose a device from the list.
The ‘None’ entry is merely a placeholder. Do not choose ‘None’.
Destination
Lock
Sets or removes a “lock” on the current destination device. The lock can be
removed only by the user that originally set the lock, or by a panel that has
“Force Release” enabled.
In MD mode, an “L” appears next to the destination in the display when it is
locked. In X-Y mode, an “L” appears next to selected levels in the display
when they are locked.
