Regions of the Configuration Page
Above the ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’ buttons (always present) there are 5 main regions:
• A graphic representation of the NV9641A panel.
On the left are 16 LCD function buttons. Click on a button to assign a function to it. In some
cases, you can click or double-click certain buttons to execute the button function. Clicking
an up or down button allows you to scroll through selection button blocks for MD destina-
tion assignments. Unless you are configuring a suffix template or working on a “paging
mode” panel configuration, you can double-click a ‘Navigate’ button to make the button’s
“subpage” appear.
When you are working on a paging mode configuration, the up and down buttons select the
previous or next pages. (The down button also creates new pages if you happen to be at the
end of the page list.)
Buttons can be illuminated in several colors: green, amber, yellow, red, blue, purple, and
grey. There are 3 levels of illumination: high tally (bright), low tally (muted) and off. Unde-
fined buttons are turned off (dark) on the actual panel and are gray in the configuration
page.
 Buttons disabled during operation have text, but are dark on the control panel.
On the right are the two scroll buttons. These are not configurable functions. They do not
perform up or down functions in the configuration page except when you are configuring
selection buttons for MD destinations and then only when you have enabled more than 8
MD destinations.
• Button definitions.
In this section, configurers make button assignments, using its pull-down menus and text
fields. The menus and fields vary with the button type.
See Button Definitions , following.
• Button page table.
This section — the region below the button definition section — displays a list of the individ-
ual pages of the tree structure under the XY/MD model or the list structure under the paging
model. The button page at the top of the table is called “Default.” In the XY/MD model, it is
the root of the tree.
Under the XY/MD model, category buttons can display device subpages when pressed.
Those subpages are not definable in NV9000-SE Utilities and the button page table does not
display the device subpages accessed through category buttons. Category buttons can also
display suffix pages when pressed. Suffix pages are included in the button page table.
Category buttons are not available under the paging model.
See Button Page Table , following.
• GPIO definitions.
In this section, you may define GPIO logic. The control panel has a rear connector that pro-
vides 4 relay outputs and 8 optically isolated inputs. See
GPIO , page 73, for more informa-
tion.
• Panel options.
In this section, you may specify the behavioral characteristics of the panel. See Panel Options
on page 19.
