4.2 Deleting an Existing Roster Entry
An individual roster entry can be deleted by using the “Delete From Roster?” option in the throttle or JMRI
node configuration menu. If you would like to delete your entire roster, you can perform a Factory Reset as
described in the
section.
4.3 Function Configuration for Roster Entries
The TCS system has extensive configuration settings for each locomotive and each function thereof,
enabling convenient and prototypical operations for both solo and consisted locomotives. Additionally, a
help feature is available on all TCS throttles, enabling the engineer to view a list of all functions on the
throttle display, and displaying upon each function button press the matching function. This is convenient,
because operators do not have to memorize which button number performs what function.
4.3.1 Function Names
To select the displayed name of a given function number, go into Functions, select the number, then
Display. A list of common function names will appear for selection.
If the list under Display does not contain the desired name, then select Description to enter arbitrary text for
the function name. After the text in Description has been changed, the selection under Display is ignored.
To return to the list-based selection, an empty Description has to be written.
4.3.2 Momentary Functions
A momentary function is active on the locomotive so long as the respective throttle button is held down, and
turned off when the button is released. A typical momentary function is horn or whistle.
A latching function is turned on upon a button press, then stays on when the button is released. The
function is turned off when the button is pressed again.
Each function can separately be configured as momentary or latching. By default F2 is momentary and all
other functions are latching.
4.4 Consist Settings
The consisting system within the TCS Command Station is unique, and functions differently than other
consisting systems. For more details on how internal consisting works within the CS-105, please refer to
the section on Consisting.
Consist settings for locomotive functions are stored within the roster configuration for each locomotive.
These settings only become active when said locomotive is in a consist, and are automatically disabled
when the consist is disbanded, or the locomotive is returned to single-unit operation. The main advantage
to this method is that if the same locomotive is entered into the same consist, or another again in the future,
the same settings are immediately restored without any need to reconfigure the consist settings from
scratch.
4.4.1 Consist Behavior
This setting can be individually adjusted for every function from two options: A) Current Cab Only B)
Consist.
