<h1>Hardware Support: CBUS - Voltage/Current Meters</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CBUS voltage and current meters may be used to display track voltage and current on
|
|
the layout, if suitable hardware is being used. Availability of meters will depend on the
|
|
hardware connection.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Cbus meters listen for a fixed messages with ACON2 opcodes from node 65534. An Event
|
|
number (EN) of 1 indicates a current reading whilst and EN of 2 indicates a voltage reading.
|
|
This may change to being user configurable in future.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Depending on the hardware connection it may be neccessary to use a Node Variable (NV) or
|
|
some other mechanism to configure the hardware to send the current and/or voltage readings on
|
|
the CBUS network. The frequency (update rate) of the readings is hardware dependent and not
|
|
mandated by JMRI or the CBUS specification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In PanelPro meters may be added from the tools menu or from the CBUS tools menu. In
|
|
DecoderPro3 the meters are currently only available from the CBUS tools menu. <img src=
