This chapter is intended specifically for the NV9603A panel
operator.
Summary
As an NV9603A operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small and simple panel
— 34 buttons with a display having three 8-character fields.
The panel’s buttons can have arbitrary legends (using plastic inserts under the button caps). A
button’s legend should indicate its function. Some buttons can be applied differently in other
modes (such as menu mode). Operators and configurers will have to communicate about the
meaning of the buttons.
The alphanumeric display (3 lines of 8 characters) shows the status of completed and pending
takes under normal circumstances. The display presents information or menu items in other
cases. See
Alphanumeric Display on page 4 for information.
Physically, you will find
• Function buttons (e.g., select a source or lock a destination).
• Source, destination, and category buttons (and other button types).
• The name of the selected destination, its current source and its pending source.
At any particular time, some of the buttons are high-tally; some are low-tally; and some might
be undefined. Active buttons are of two colors, green and amber. Green generally represents
sources and source functions; amber generally represents destinations and destination func-
tions, but the colors are also used for other functions.
 Please refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide (or the NV9000-SE Utilities help files) if you
are unfamiliar with the concepts used in this chapter.
Modes of Operation
The NV9603A usually operates in X-Y mode. You can also operate the panel in menu mode or
salvo mode.
Generally, to operate the panel, you choose a destination, (possibly) choose desired breakaway
levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’.
Takes generally occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are selectable.
