16.5 Basic Operations

16.5 Basic Operations
For the NX-5000 series, each RF Deck can behave independently. However, as an exception, some functions behave as
a Multi RF Deck/Multi Control Head structure.
In the following description of basic operations, the terms "Selected RF Deck" and "Unselected RF Deck" are used.
"Selected RF Deck" indicates an RF Deck that can be operated from a Control Head in a Multi RF Deck system. Only one
"Selected RF Deck" exists in a Multi RF Deck system.
Also, "Unselected RF Deck" indicates an RF Deck that cannot be operated from a Control Head.
In a Dual RF Deck structure, one "Selected RF Deck" and one "Unselected RF Deck" exist. In a Triple RF Deck structure,
one "Selected RF Deck" and two "Unselected RF Deck" exist.
Operating a Control Head
In a Multi RF Deck system, a Control Head can operate the Selected RF Deck.
If the Control Head is KCH-19, the channel name of the Selected RF Deck can be displayed on the Control Head display.
If the Control Head is KCH-20R or KCH-21R, all channel names of the Multi RF Deck can be displayed on the Control Head
display at the same time.
In the following figure of display examples, the orange icons indicate that RF Deck 1 is the Selected RF Deck.

Dual Control Head
If connecting 2 Control Heads (Dual Control Head) to an RF Deck, each Control Head can operate the RF Deck. In a Multi
RF Deck system, the Selected RF Deck can be operated from 2 Control Heads. For Dual Control Head, KCH-19, KCH-20R,
and KCH-21R can exist together.
