Tree-Structured Button Layouts
Some panels have tree-structured button layouts. These are the panels that do:
NV9640 NV9640A NV9641 NV9641A
NV9642 NV9647 NV9654
NV9648 (under the XY/MD model) NV9649 (under the XY/MD model)
These are panels that have LCD buttons, which are relegendable.
“Tree-structured” means that the configurer can define a number of linked “button pages.”
When the operator presses certain buttons (such as a ‘Navigate’ button), the panel software
causes the functions of the linked button page to appear on the buttons. Because pages and
links can be nested, arbitrarily large sets of linked button pages can be defined. (The graph of
the structure of pages is called a “tree.”)
Button Layout Templates
For these panels, you can also define suffix and global navigate templates.
A suffix template is a “page” of buttons — intended to contain a matrix of suffix buttons — that
can be referenced as a page in one or more panel configurations.
A global navigation template is also a “page” of buttons — not very different from any normal
button page — that can be referenced as a page in one or more panel configurations.
 Configurers please note that if you change a suffix template or global navigation template,
you must actively force the changes to propagate back to the panel configurations that use
them. Refer to the individual user’s guides for details.
Selection Buttons
Some panels have “selection” buttons. These are the panels that do:
NV9601 NV9640 NV9640A NV9641
NV9641A NV9642 NV9647 NV9654
NV9648 (under the XY/MD model) NV9649 (under the XY/MD model)
The NV9601 is unique among these panels. Its selection buttons are fixed in number and posi-
tion, backlit and not re-legendable, and function differently from selection buttons on the other
panels listed above (all of which have re-legendable buttons).
NV9601 Selection Buttons
Beneath the display are 8 backlit selection buttons. The 8 buttons correspond to the 8 lines of
the display. Each button selects the item on the corresponding line.
The NV9601’s selection buttons are dedicated buttons; they are not configurable.
Selection buttons support level selection in XY mode and MD device selection in multi-destina-
tion mode. Operators can scroll through multiple pages of levels in X-Y mode and through
multiple pages of devices in MD mode. The operator makes selections from
— and add to selec-
tions — whatever appears on the display at any given time.
Selection buttons also allow operators to select menus when the panel is in menu mode (or in
setup mode) and to select salvos when the panel is in salvo mode.
