|
|
<p>The Slot Monitor tool displays a table of the "command station slots'" contents. Slots are
|
|
used to control individual locomotives and consists. The display includes the decoder's speed
|
|
step format, current speed and function settings, consist information and status. You can
|
|
choose to show either all slots or just the ones being actively used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The checkboxes at the top allow you to show just the active (in use) slots, or all
|
|
locomotive slots. You can also choose whether to show the "system" slots which don't carry
|
|
locomotive information.<br>
|
|
The "Estop All" button sets the speed of all the locomotives to "Emergency Stop" in one
|
|
action.<br>
|
|
The "Release all unused slots" button (not visible in this screen shot) will reclaim extra
|
|
slots in the Command Station.</p>
