SniffControl
Page 4
Transferring points commands
The SniffControl will transfer points commands sent by the external central unit in DCC-Format to
the MasterControl. Points commands in Motorola Format will be ignored by the SniffControl.
Programming decoders
It is impossible to access from the external central unit in the locomotive database of the
MasterControl or to change the data. The SniffControl does not transfer programming commands,
thus it is for instance impossible to use the main track programming (POM) with the external
central unit.
Connecting a PC
A PC planed to be integrated into the digital control EasyControl has to be connected directly to
the MasterControl as PC interfaces, connected to the external central unit, are not supported by
the SniffControl.
