point is early (before the actual start point), than record again and drive past the loop point
slightly.
The couple sound effect plays continuously should macro memory space run out. The macro
may be successfully saved up to the point of running out of space and played back if desired.
Playback Mode
Once the macro is successfully recorded and saved playback may be started. If loop accuracy is
desired (will not be perfect), set the locomotive at the initial recorded start point. Set CV239 to
zero. Activate the macro player by pressing F26 (default) or whatever key has been defined to
start the macro player. Once the loop is played and the locomotive finishes, assuming the
locomotive stopped past the start point, adjust CV239 to decrease the overshoot. Note that the
overshoot may vary from a cold locomotive to a warm locomotive. The macro recorder records
events over time and due to track voltage fluctuations and thermal conditions, the locomotives
speed slightly varies under different conditions, resulting in a time shift. Now, if desired, the
macro played may be set to loop from 1 to 14 times or indefinitely loop (See CV245).
At any time the macro player may be terminated. An emergency stop or pressing F26 (default)
or whatever key has been defined to start the macro player will terminate the macro player. Note
that if the locomotive is running and the F26 (default) or whatever key has been defined to start
the macro player is pressed, the macro player is terminated, but the locomotive is left in its
current state, running.
