14.0 How Your Command Station Manages Addresses
Your command station has a finite number of “slots” available in its memory.
Once the slots available in your command station are full, the system will dis-
play the “slot=max” or “FF” message to let you know that you need to release
some locos if you want to select and run others. Your command station manual
details how many slots your command station can handle. It also explains how
your command station handles purging of addresses from the system to allow
for more addresses to be selected and run.
