<h1>The Slip Turnout Editor</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The slip turnout editor handles turnouts that require more than one accessory (turnout)
|
|
address and have more than two routes through the turnout.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This includes ..</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Double Slips</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Single Slips</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Three way turnouts</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Scissor or Double Crossings</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The way icons are changed in the SlipTurnout Icon Editor is the same as they are changed
|
|
in the other Icon Editors. The <strong>Change Icon...</strong>button and the Catalog function
|
|
identically with other Icon Editors. The <strong>Find Icons</strong> menu and its items are
|
|
also identical.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See the <a href="IconAdder.shtml">Icon Editors page</a> and the <a href=
|
|
"../catalog/ImageIndex.shtml">Image Index Editor page</a> for details on their use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Contents of the SlipTurnout Icon Editor</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each type of "Slip" uses a fixed number of turnouts and routes. Typically each "Slip" uses
|
|
two turnouts and has between three and four different routes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each slip must have all the turnouts required added, when all the turnouts are assigned,
|
|
the <strong>Add to Panel</strong> button will become active and it can be pressed to install
|
|
the Slip into the Panel.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To select the type of Slip complex that is being used, use the radio buttons at the top of
|
|
the window.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Details about how each type of slip should be configured and operate can be found
|
|
below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Double Slip</h3>
|
|
<img src="images/DoubleSlip.png" class="floatRight" alt="double slip">
|
|
<p>The Double Slip, uses a pair of turnouts to set the four possible routes that are
|
|
available. Simply drag a row from the Turnout table to place into the corresponding West or
|
|
East undefined position on the slip. When the turnout is dropped on to the label, it will
|
|
display the turnout name.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Single Slip</h3>
|
|
<img src="images/SingleSlip.png" class="floatRight" alt="single slip">
|
|
<p>The Single Slip works in very much the same way as the Double Slip in that it requires a
|
|
pair of turnouts to be selected for the West and East side of the Slip. However it has a
|
|
further option, which is to select which way the slip routes.</p>
|
|
<img src="images/SingleOptions.png" alt="single slip options">
|
|
<p>Use the radio button to select if the slip takes the upper or lower route, making the
|
|
change will automatically change the icon in the slip position to suit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Three Way Turnout</h3>
|
|
<img src="images/ThreeWay.png" class="floatRight" alt="three way turnout">
|
|
<p>With the Three Way Turnout, you require a pair of turnouts, one for the first throat, then
|
|
another for the second.</p>
|
|
<img src="images/ThreeWayOptions.png" alt="three way options">
|
|
<p>You also need to determine which exit the first throat turnout relates to.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Scissor (Double) Crossing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Scissor crossing can use either a pair of turnout address with diagonally opposite
|
|
turnouts being wired together as one. Or it can use four turnout addresses, one for each
|
|
corner of the scissor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note :</strong> The Scissor Crossing Icon does not allow for all routes to be set
|
|
as crossing, this mainly due to the fact that in many instance setting a scissor crossing to
|
|
this state will cause a short circuit. <img src="images/ScissorBy2.png" class="floatRight"
|
|
alt="crossover"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When a pair of turnouts is used, you place the turnout that is controlling the Upper West
|
|
to Lower East route into the Right Hand Crossing panel, and the turnout address controlling
|
|
the Lower West to Upper East route into the Left Hand Crossing Panel. <img src=
|
|
"images/ScissorBy4.png" class="floatRight" alt="double crossover"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When four turnouts are used, you need to place the four turnouts from the turnout table to
|
|
the corresponding locations in the panel.</p>
