This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9601 panel operator .
Summary
As an NV9601 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively simple panel — 36
buttons and a scrollable alphanumeric display. The design of the user interface is entirely at
the discretion of the configurer. You, the user, depend on the configurer having designed a
useful panel.
The user interface of an NV9601 in one installation can be radically different from the user
interface of an NV9601 in another installation. It is impossible to describe operations in
great detail because there is no one interface. What we can do, however, is give you general
advice and, of course, specific information on the behavior of the different button types
and operational modes.
The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends (because they are inserts under the clear
plastic button caps). A button’s legend might or might not indicate its function. Operators
and configurers will have to communicate about the meaning of the buttons.
The alphanumeric display (8 lines of 42 characters) shows the status of takes (pending or
complete) in X-Y mode or multi-destination mode under normal circumstances. The display
presents information or menu items as isolated cases warrant. You can scroll the display as
necessary.
Physically, you will find
• Function buttons (that, e.g., select a source or lock a destination).
• Selection buttons that select levels in X-Y mode and devices in MD mode.
• Status of preset and current sources and the selected destination(s).
At any particular time, some of the buttons are enabled or disabled. Some are high-tally;
some are low-tally; and some might be undefined.
