<p>The JMRI&reg; Throttle may be used on your computer screen to replace the vendor throttle that
is furnished with your DCC system. One or several throttles may be in use at one time. The
Throttle opens as a floating window that may be positioned anywhere on your desktop. Note the
Title Bar contains the locomotive Roster ID information or the Locomotive address.</p>

<p>(color shading added to show functional areas of throttle panels)</p>
<p>The Throttle Window contains <a href="Main_Throttle_menubar.shtml"><strong>Menu
Bar</strong></a>, <a href="Main_Throttle_toolbar.shtml"><strong>Toolbar</strong></a> and
three panels which may be enabled or disabled via check box in the View menu. Each panel has
a title bar with windows controls to minimize, maximize and exit: :</p>
<p style="color: red;"><strong>Warning!!!</strong> Be careful with the left hand (minimize)
buttons. In Windows, if the little guy is clicked it will minimize the panel, which means it
is no longer visible but the restore button is lost behind the rest of the panels. The way to
easily get it back, is to go into the view menu, uncheck it there, then go back again and
re-check it. You may also drag the panels out of the way to uncover the Maximize icon for a
minimized panel.</p>
<p><a href="Main_Throttle_addressPanel.shtml"><strong>Address Panel</strong></a> (green
shading) facilitates setting the address of the locomotive you wish to control with the
throttle.</p>
<p><a href="Main_Throttle_controlPanel.shtml"><strong>Control Panel</strong></a> (blue
shading) contains the controls for applying power to the locomotive that is addressed and
controlling speed</p>
<p><a href="Main_Throttle_functionPanel.shtml"><strong>Function Panel</strong></a>(yellow
shading) contains all the function buttons used to control the addressed locomotives
functions. If function names are assigned to the functions and stored in the roster, they
will be displayed.</p>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The descriptions shown above are only a small part of what
