2. Digital mode (DAISY-System and DAISY throttle)
Used as a digital control system, the combination of DAISY-throttle plus
Power-2 (which we call “DAISY-System”) constitutes a multi-protocol
digital Command Station for the Motorola old and new format
(locomotive addresses 1 through 255) and for the DCC format (14, 28
and 128 speed steps; locomotive addresses 1 through 9999).
Furthermore, if all locomotives are of the DCC format, it can also be
used to control, through locomotive address zero, an analog locomotive
(a locomotive not equipped with a digital decoder). Turnout decoders
can be either of the Motorola or of the DCC format. DCC decoders can
be programmed using either the CV or the Register mode.
2.1 Operation
(1) Large 4-digit display for showing all system
information
(2) Rotary encoder used as a speed knob for
controlling the loco speed and also for loco
selection, turnout address selection and for
value/parameter input during programming
(3) Driving direction indicators (triangular LEDs)
(4) [Stop]: layout Power Off/On toggle
(5) Turnout key for activating turnout
mode and for turnout/signal ad-
dress selection
(6) Programming key for per-
forming DCC programming
procedures and for the setup
of DAISY operational para-
meters (Special Options)
(7) Locomotive key for drive
mode selection and for loco-
motive (address) selection
(8) Function keys [f1] through [f4]. These keys control locomotive
functions in drive mode, while they control turnouts in turnout
mode
(9) [Off] key for turning the locomotive lights off
(10) [function] key for turning the locomotive lights on
Speed knob
The speed knob is used for controlling the locomotive speed. Turning
the speed knob clockwise increases locomotive speed, while turning
the speed dial counterclockwise decreases locomotive speed. If the
locomotive is stopped or if it has already reached its maximum speed,
further rotations in the corresponding direction are ignored.
If you select a locomotive which is moving, the throttle automatically
displays the locomotive speed and let’s you control the locomotive
