Delay Setting - Is the number of seconds that the train will stay stopped when its
direction is changed. DL2.0s in this example means that the locomotive will
pause for 2.0 seconds before it reverses direction. This setting is available for
programing by the operator when a locomotive is being defined under Item 1,
ASSIGN FUNCTIONS
Top Speed - The locomotive’s maximum speed is expressed as a percentage of the
maximum possible speed. This setting is available for programing by the operator
when a locomotive is being defined under Item 1, ASSIGN FUNCTIONS. TOP
SPEED is useful when the operator would like to limit the maximum speed of a
locomotive to a scale speed for realistic operation. This item can also be useful if
you wish to limit the speed at which children an operate a locomotive.
Start Speed - The locomotive’s start speed is expressed as a percentage of the
amount of power required for the locomotive to begin to move. This setting is
available for programing by the operator when a locomotive is being defined
under Item 1, ASSIGN FUNCTIONS. START SPEED is used to reduce the
dead zone between speed setting 0 and the speed setting at which the locomotive
begins to move.
OPERATING SCREEN - Current Speed Box
Current Speed - shows the locomotive’s current speed as a percentage of the
maximum possible speed. At the bottom of this box the speed of the locomotive
is shown graphically in the form of a bar.
OPERATING SCREEN - Loco Direction Line
Loco Direction - shows the direction of travel for the active locomotive. Arrows
pointing to the right indicate forward while arrows pointing to the left indicate
reverse
Aux Function Feedback - Flashes when an Auxiliary Function key is pressed.
OPERATING SCREEN - Bottom Line
PWC/Linear Power - The first item on the bottom line shows that the system is
using PWC (Pulse Width Coding) speed control.
Speed Step - This shows the sensitivity level for speed of reaction after pressing
the t and u keys. This is an operator defined setting under the QUICK MENU
LIST. For switching you might want a lower sensitivity and for big trains a faster
key reaction. This setting is applied to all locomotives being controlled by the
transmitter.
LinkOK or NOLink - tells whether the transmitter and receiver of the active
locomotive are communicating. This same area on the display will show error
messages such as OVERLOAD or OVERHEAT. This is reference information
only and has no user setable function.
Normally the transmitter’s main control display shows LinkOK on the bottom
line of the screen. This indicates that there is a good radio link between the
transmitter and the receiver in the locomotive. If that link is lost due to an
