3. Simple driving mode
(for first time users)
This chapter describes how a new user can quickly call up and drive his locomotives. It is assumed here
that these engines have already been programmed with a known address, if not see chapter "
Simple
Addressing & Programming”
.
From the
“normal” driving screens,
either
LOCO
(various representations, mostly with function icons
or LoR in the lower display half) or
SWI
(with switch icons), the address input screen
LOCO IN
can be
called up anytime with the
A-Key
(with
-Key
+ A
from
LOCO
with visible LoR), to enter data of a new
vehicle and activate it with the
F-key:
The
LOCO IN
screen
appears by default only after booting up a
completely new
or
empty
controller
!
After switching to
LOCO IN
, the
desired vehicle address
can
be entered (if not taken over from the object list, see left):
Numeric keypad
Vehicle address
(Use C-key for deleting individual characters)
After that, either immediately
F- Key
activates
the new vehicle (with the
entered address, but without a name) and
switches to the
LOCO
mode
.
or
A- Key
switches to the input field “Name
” (or use
the Scrolling wheel to move to the next line)
Keypad
enter a
Name
using the
(Shift) key to switch
between ABC, abc, 123 (indicated at the end of a word)
and then
F- Key
activates
the new vehicle (with entered
address and name) and switches to the
LOCO
mode.
or
right after entering a name:
A- Key
switches to the input line “Group”
Rocker Switch
Select a
Group
(optional, has no functional significance)
F- Key
Activates
the new vehicle (with entered
address, name and group); controller switches to operating
mode
LOCO
optional
The following is only necessary when a specific track format,
other than the standard DCC with 128 speed steps, is required.
Scrolling wheel
Select from the list
DCC
or
Motorola
(MM)
format
(with various speed steps)in the upper right
of the display
F- Key
activates
the new vehicle
with entered address and data format (possibly name and
group); controller switches to operating mode
LOCO
.

NOTE: (to the photos on the left): The display pictures are examples for the many possible representations in the operating
modes
LOCO
and
SWI
(with/without image, large/small image, with/without speedo, different speedo designs etc.).
NOTE: (
to the pictured “MU ROCO…”): This vehicle with the address 110 is stored by default in the device and can be ac-
cessed as a template for a full GUI (graphical user interface) by typing and activating the address 110 on the
LOCO IN
page
(see below). It can, of course, be deleted from LoR and Object Database if desired (as any other created vehicle). See "Object
Database".
This factory stored address 110 is not the so-
called “sample” address; the latter is address 16383 by default and does not ap-
pear in the Object Database, cannot be used as an operational address (because the address is outside the DCC range of
1...10239) and is only used to determine which GUI elements are to be assigned automatically when activating a new address
(= not yet in the system). These are by default: a green speedo and the function icons "light" or "sound on / off") for F0 and F8;
see chapter
"
CAB CONF
"
(in “Operating mode
LOCO
”).
NOTE: Appropriate GUI elements from the controller or command
station database are automatically added upon activation!
An excerpt from the object database of the
controller is listed in the lower half of the
screen, which matches the previously en-
tered digits (of the address) or characters
(of the name). This way, if a vehicle already
exists in the controller, a quick selection
can be made from this list.
Softkey II
Switches to the vehicle list of
the Object Database
Scrolling wheel
Scrolls in the list
A- Key
Accepts the selection and
moves the same to the upper field
(From there: activate with the F-Key)
NOTE: If the address of the vehicle in question is
unknown, it can be determined with the
“Address
Search”
feature (activation with
TP-Key
)!
See chapter
LOCO IN
! Minimum software version
01.22.0001
(System) and
