Set Up Modes
Before you begin to simulate traffic with the TCTII, there are three setup
modes that should be adjusted to your specifications.
Set Speed
The Set Speed mode is used
to set the speed of the vehicles
to be simulated. This setting
is shown on the second line of
the display to the right. To set a
speed, press the TAB key until
Set Speeds is shown at the top left of the display. Then press the DO
key to increase the speed of the vehicles by 5 MPH. The speed can be
set from 5 to 80 MPH. Speeds in the range of 35 MPH to 55 MPH are
recommended for normal use.
Note:
This setting does not affect the
SPEEDS operating mode.
Set Tube
The Set Tube mode is used
to program the TCTII for the
tube spacing you would like to
simulate. This setting is shown
on the third line of the display to
the left. To set the tube spacing,
press the TAB key until Set Tube is shown at the top left of the display.
Then press the DO key to cycle the road tube distance through 4 inches,
2 ft., 4 ft., 8 ft. and 16 ft.
Note:
This setting does not affect the A to B, B to A operating mode,
which uses a default setting of 4.5 inches.
