12. Recall memory and list of names  

OPER., EXP.

 

 

The recall memory

 

(a local memory in the cab): 

If a loco or accessory address in a cab is deactivated (“A” key or 

A

) it does not disappear from the 

system but remains stored in the recall memory of the command station and the relevant cab (MX2, 
MX21, MX31….).  

By default, the recall memories of the MX31 hold 10 addresses in each mode, LOCO and SWI (the 
size of the memory can be changed to hold between 1 and 30 addresses with the help of the E-
procedure RUB or via the menu). How many addresses the memory currently holds is indicated in 
the top line of the display (“R...”) in both, the LOCO and SWI mode.  

All ZIMO cabs will bring the top address stored in the recall memory to the foreground and activate it 
with the 

F key 

S

 (LOCO mode) or the 

 - 

S

 (SWI mode) while at the same time deactivate the 

previous address. Repeatedly activating the F or W key rotates through the complete memory bank.  

Additionally, with 

 - 

S

 (shift and F key) or 

 - 

S

 the recall memory can be rotated through in 

reverse, which can sometimes be very useful.  

The 

 key will always get you back to the last active address, i.e. to move quickly and easily be-

tween two loco or accessory addresses. 

The 

C key

 

deletes

 the currently active address

 from the recall memory!

  

In the ZIMO cabs MX21 and MX31: Pressing the 

A key twice 

in rapid succession (within half a sec-

ond) while in an active LOCO or SWI mode switches to a 

tabular display 

of the recall memory (not 

available in MX2 cab), listing names and addresses including the data format and if applicable marK-
ers for consists (“T”) or switch ladders (“H”). The list can be 

scrolled Up or down 

with the thumb 

wheel (not available with MX2 or MX21 cab) 

or

 the 

F and W keys

 and the desired selection acti-

vated with the 

“A” key.

 Using the E key instead leads to the previously active address.  

 

 

            Change  to  the  tabular  display  with 
                          A + A (press A key twice) 

Return with selected engine with the

                                                                                                                                            in the SWI display

 

The tabular display can be called up in the OPERATOR mode as well as the EXPERT mode. The 
presentation differs in the font size and therefore also in the number of lines visible in the display. 

The EXPERT display also shows a “recall memory preview” in the lower display half: 3 lines from the 
recall memory that can be scrolled and activated similar to the full display view. See chapter “LOCO 
and SWI handling in EXPERT mode”. 

 

The list of names

 (currently implemented as a system wide feature):  

In contrast to the recall memory, the list of names is 

not

 divided according to LOCO and SWI infor-

mation. It shows all names stored in the system on the same page and it shows names exclusively, 
which means that numerical loco or accessory addresses are not shown in this list.  

The list of names is displayed in a table format only and can be called up using the 

E- 4 keys

 (E and 

4 key pressed together) or with 

A + A + 4 (press the A key twice followed by the “4” key). 

 The 

entries are marked with an “F” (for a loco address) or “W” (accessory address). The cab selects the 
appropriate mode, either LOCO or SWI, when an entry is being activated with the A key.  

The list of names is of particular importance in conjunction with acquiring names from other cabs or 
the system. It functions as a cache: external names are stored in the list of names from where they 
can be accessed and activated by any cab and are in this way imported in to a cab’s recall memory.  

 

   
  Change to the list of names with 
  E - 4 or A + A + 4 

  

Return with new address with the

 

A key

       

 

  or to previous address with the E key
