Allows you to select which of the three panels of the throttle are being shown. Place a check mark in each of the panels that your want to display.
You may ask yourself, “Why would I want to turn off any of these panels?” As only one example, let’s say we have an observation car at the rear of a passenger train. We could equip this car with a function only decoder to control:
- Interior lights,
- Rear marker lights, and
- A rear Drum light.
We have no need for the speed control pane and only need three function buttons for this “Throttle”.
With a whole passenger train equipped like this, lots of screen space can be conserved by using the throttle set-up files to optimize the Throttle windows. Then you could turn off the lights in the kitchen and lower the lights in the dining area so the passengers can enjoy the sunset as they transit the Rockies enjoying the beautiful sunset sipping Cognac…. but I digress. You get the idea.
