<h1>Power Control</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <span class="textbutton">On</span> and <span class="textbutton">Off</span> buttons in
|
|
this window do the same thing the Power On/Off buttons may do on your hand
|
|
held throttle. They turn the track voltage On and Off.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>If there are multiple hardware types, the connection can be chosen via the dropdown menu,
|
|
and the connection name is displayed in the control.</p>
|
|
<p>The initial power status of some system types may be unknown.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Where the DCC system supports a concept of an "Idle" state for DCC track power, and JMRI
|
|
has been updated to support that feature, the pane will include an "Idle" button. Exactly
|
|
what the "Idle" state means is DCC system-dependent.</p>

|
|
<p>The Power Control can be opened from the
|
|
<a href="../../../../html/apps/PanelPro/ToolsMenu.shtml">JMRI Tools Menu</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some systems can report how much layout power is being used, see the
|
|
<a href="../swing/meter/MeterFrame.shtml">Voltage / Current Meter</a>.
