The clear text
configuration is
converted to a bina-
ry format so it can
be used in opera-
tion.
If the binary
configuration gets
modified, a new
clear text
configuration
(Paramenter sheet)
will also be created.

Loading the
Configurations
into the StEin:
The list of the object lines for the StEin
Module is called
parameter sheet.
This
sheet is created with the program Excel.
Exporting from Excel creates a
.cfg file,
which can then be uploaded to the StEin.
Configuration data output by the StEin:
Err.Param-sheet:
Details about incorrect in-
formation in the parameter sheet, in the
same format and layout.
Mod.Param-sheet:
The parameters of the
original sheet can be edited using local in-
puts on the StEin or via interlocking pro-
grams. From that, a new parameter sheet
will be created for possible further editing.
Prepared configurations
as alternative:
For a quick start-up or a permanent solution
for smaller applications, select groups of
object lines (i.e. 8 turnouts) that are already
in the software
at the time of delivery
(but
can be exchanged later with .cff files).
The so composed object lines can also be
converted to a
Mod.Param-
sheet and read-
out for external editing (see above).
Loading Sound:
Sound projects are created and loaded simi-
larly to sound decoders.
