<h1>The Signal Head Table</h1>

|
|
<p>All the Signal Heads that JMRI knows about can be referenced using the "Signal Head Table"
|
|
tool in the Tools > Tables menu of most JMRI programs. Signal Heads may also be used to
|
|
build Signal Masts in a later step.<br>
|
|
You may change the order of the columns by dragging their titles, and sort the rows by
|
|
clicking one of the sort triangles next to a column title.<br>
|
|
There are eight columns in the Signal Head Table:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The System Name is assigned to the Signal Head when it's created, and can't be changed
|
|
later.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you're interested in having your Signal Heads carry "human readable" names, you can
|
|
doubleclick in the "User Name" column and change that information to whatever you
|
|
want.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>As the Signal Head changes, for whatever reason, the current Appearance will show in
|
|
the table in the "Appearance" column. Change the Appearance of a head by choosing one of
|
|
the available states from the combo box: Red, Yellow, Green, Flashing red, Flashing Yellow,
|
|
Flashing Green, or Dark. Some Signal Heads may also have Lunar and Flashing Lunar
|
|
available.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The "Comment" column is for your use to record any comment you may want to help keep
|
|
track of your Signal Heads. It is for information only. Doubleclick to edit the
|
|
contents.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click the "Delete" button in a specific row to delete the Signal Head. Be sure to first
|
|
remove any Signal Head icons associated with this Signal Head, any associated Simple Signal
|
|
Logic, and all references to this Signal Head. Use this button with caution!</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The check box in the "Lit" column lets you control whether the Signal Head on the
|
|
layout is lit (checked) or stays dark (unchecked).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The check box in the "Held" column shows the "held" property of the Signal Head, and
|
|
allows you to change it. This property is used by e.g. CTC machine logic to say "Don't
|
|
change this Signal Head from red, even if it would be safe to do so, because I want to hold
|
|
a train here".</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click the "Edit" button in a row to view or change optional information for a Signal
|
|
Head.<br>
|
|
Notes: System Name and Signal type cannot be changed. Only one Signal Head may be edited at
|
|
a time.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>To define a new Signal Head, click on the "<a href="SignalAddEdit.shtml">Add..."</a>
|
|
button at the bottom of the Signal Head Table. It will prompt you for the Signal Head
|
|
connection type and whatever information is needed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use the Store item in the File menu to save signal information to disk. For details, see
|
|
<a href="../../../../html/apps/LoadStoreWork.shtml">Loading and Storing Your Work</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information on creating and displaying panels, including how to show signals on
|
|
your panels, please see the <a href="../../../../html/apps/PanelPro/Panels.shtml">Panels
|
|
pages</a>.</p>
