<p>This pane is more than a scratch pad to keep track of what happens when function buttons
are pushed. It also interacts with the <a href="Main_Throttle.shtml">JMRI throttle</a>.</p>

<p>The <strong>Function Label</strong>s Tab makes settings for the Software Throttles within
JMRI. Primarily the on-screen throttles, but some of the settings are mirrored on
smart-phones (iPhone/Android) using the WiThrottle interface.</p>
<p>When you use the roster pull-down on the JMRI throttle to select a loco from your roster,
the function buttons will be marked with the descriptions you have entered for those
functions in this pane.</p>
<p>In this example, the Function keys on the Throttle will be labeled for the FP-45 with
Tsunami OEM Sound decoder with sounds and lighting functions.</p>
<p class="dp-ctr"><img src="images/Adv_03_FunctionOnThrottle.png" alt="throttle" height="523"

</p>
<p>Using the checkboxes, space holders and the radio button to the right of each function may
be set to:</p>
<table style="width: 80%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>lock</strong>
</td>
<td>
<p>Makes the function button "latching" or "non-latching". When the box is checked
the function is "locked" or "latched".</p>
<p><strong>Latched Function</strong> when pressed will stay on(down position) until
pressed again i.e. Function button labeled "Bell" would ring until pressed again.</p>
<p><strong>Unlatched Function</strong> when pressed toggles on and then off. i.e.
Function Button labeled "short horn", when pressed provides one blast of horn.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>off</strong>
</td>
<td>Place holder for icon that is displayed on Function Button when it is in off
state.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>on</strong>
</td>
<td>Place holder for icon that is displayed on Function Button when it is in on
state.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>shunt</strong>
</td>
<td>Sets "virtual" function key for software throttle. The "lock" option also needs to
be set simultaneously with the "shunt" virtual function key activation. When this
Function key is pressed the throttle speed slider on the software throttle changes to
"center off" style for shunting, rather than the "full-range with separate direction
key"</td>

<p>You may drag and drop icons into the off or on space holder herer or in the Throttle
Function pane properties.</p>
<p>You may also edit the function button text in the <strong><a href=
"Main_Throttle.shtml">JMRI Throttle</a></strong> and save those changes to the selected
Roster entry. To use these changed entries in the future, make sure you click on the
<span class="textbutton">Save to Roster</span> button to save these values
into the Roster entry that is in use.</p>
