MD Mode
In MD mode, when you select a protected MD destination with a button, the ‘Destination
Protect’ button goes high-tally.
To protect or unprotect MD destinations, select the destinations and press a ‘Destination
Protect’ button.
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, you may protect or unprotect the current destination on each of its levels. Select
the level(s) and press the ‘Destination Protect’ button to perform the protect. Select protected
levels and press the ‘Destination Protect’ button to unprotect them. A protected level has a “P”
next to it when it appears in the display.
See Lock, Protect, and Release on page 65.
P Free Source
This button selects a phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the data
(machine control) level. A free source can also be used with tielines to free the tieline for others
to use.
Use this button as if it were a source button.
The actual free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
The default button text is “Free Source” but the button can have any legend.
Forward
Displays and activates the next button page in an automatically generated list.
A forward button is never high-tally. A forward button is generated by the system when a list
has more than 16 elements. Forward buttons are always accompanied by “back” buttons.
See also Back .
Hold
The ‘Hold’ button is a toggle. Press it once to activate “hold” mode, press it again to deactivate
“hold.” The button is high-tally when hold mode is active and low-tally when it is not.
You can activate or deactivate hold mode at any time during an MD selection or a breakaway
selection in X-Y mode. Your selection remains intact and the panel subsequently operates in
hold mode or non-hold mode according to the hold button state.
The default button text is “Hold Preset” but the button can have any legend.
In MD mode, turning hold mode on allows you to select more than one destination button at a
time. When you select a source, the source applies to all selected (high-tally) destinations. If hold
is still on when you press ‘Take’, the selected destinations remain selected and the X-Y Display
button reflects the source and the first of the selected destinations.
Without hold enabled, the X-Y Display button reverts to “No MD Dest Selected” after an MD take
and the buttons for the selected destinations go low-tally.
When hold is active, all selected MD destinations get the source you selected most recently (in
case you changed your mind and selected another source).
