Button Definitions
Check box
“Use custom button text.” This checkbox is not present for all button types.
The option allows you to define specific button text for certain buttons such as
the ‘Src/Dst’ button. By default, the button gets the source name and destination
name as text. The option, when checked, overrides the default.
Be careful: unchecking this box alters the text you entered.
When you choose a button type, additional drop-down menus can appear, depending on the button
type, allowing you to further specify the button’s behavior. Available options and selections vary
from button type to button type.
There are other button definition options that become available when you are defining a category
button or a global navigation button and you have defined one or more suffix pages or global navi-
gation pages. These options are described under
The Navigate button is a special case. It invokes an “Edit Navigate Button” dialog during configu-
ration. See
‘Edit Navigation Button’ Dialog
, on page 30.
Button Types
Note that different subsets of these button types are available when you are defining a global suffix
template or a global navigation template. See
on page 37.
These are the button types available for NV9642 configurations:
Type
Description
Back
The ‘Back’ function places the predecessor of the current button page on the panel.
The panel software can introduce a “back” button if an automatically generated list
has more entries than can fit on a page.
Broadcast
On the data (control) level, the button enables a broadcast take to an
additional
con-
trolled device, after a broadcast route has been initiated with a “source is master”
control-level take to the
first
controlled device.
The button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redundant) device is
in use. See
button, following.
Category
Displays a category’s device list.
When you assign a category button, two additional drop-down menus appear:
‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’. Choose a category from one of the category
lists. When you choose a source category, the destination categories become inac-
cessible and vice versa: a category button must be either a source category or a des-
tination category. You must choose ‘None’ in either category list to switch to the
other category list.
When you choose either ‘Src Category’ and ‘Dst Category’, the ‘Use global suffix
page to select devices’ checkbox becomes enabled and a ‘Suffix Page’ drop-down
menu appears. You can select a suffix template in the drop-down menu.
If you choose a suffix template, when the operator clicks the category button, the
suffix page appears. If you do not, a list of devices in the category appears. See
on page 37 for further detail.
The default button text will be the category name. You can override the default text.
