Summary
The NV9642 has a “multi-page” user interface. Each of its 34 buttons (illuminated in various colors
and having 3 lines of text) can either (1) execute a function or (2) select another button page (i.e.,
present an entirely new set of functions). The set of button pages is not limited in size. Panel opera-
tors navigate to different button pages to perform different tasks.
We say that the user interface is tree-structured (or hierarchical) although it is not always a “tree” in
the strictest sense. (You can construct a tree-like graph of the button pages.)
The NV9642, in addition, has an 4×22 alphanumeric display that presents the status of operations
as they occur. The NV9642 panel has up and down buttons next to the display with which the oper-
ator can scroll the display.
At the rear of the panel, a DB25 connector supports 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs.
NV9000-SE Utilities is the software with which to configure the NV9642. Figure 4-1, following,
shows the default NV9642 panel configuration page from NV9000-SE Utilities.
