Semi-Automatic Data Routing
This data routing option applies only in X-Y mode.
If a control port for the source or destination is “in use,” a take involving a machine control level
occurs on all levels except the machine control level. Nevertheless, you are given the opportu-
nity to complete the take on the machine control level by pressing the ‘Take’ button a second
time.
If neither of the control ports for the source or destination are in use, the take occurs naturally
without any further action required. Note that the ports will become “in use” after the take you
are performing.
Follow these steps to take the data level as a breakaway:
1 Select a destination.
2 Select a source.
3 Examine the display and the take button.
4 If the Take button is still high-tally (and the selection button for the machine control level is
yellow), press the ‘Take’ button again to complete the take.
You can cancel the control-level take by pressing a button other than ‘Take’.
Chop
The chop function is a diagnostic function for routers that support chop. It allows you to switch
rapidly between two sources at a particular destination. The chop interval is defined in the
NV9000 configuration. The default chop interval is 6 fields.
Follow these steps to use chop:
1 Select a destination.
2 Select a source. This is the first source.
3 Press the chop button.
4 Select another source. This is the second source. The chop is immediately activated on the
routers (of the default destination) that support chop.
To terminate the chop, (1) press the chop button again to turn off chop, (2) select the destina-
tion you had chosen for the chop, then (3) select any source.
Menu Mode
The NV9641A enters menu mode when it has a menu button and you press it.
