arrow Name: Accessory name on panel
arrow Key: Key to switch on and off accessory.
arrow Accessory type:

On/Off - accessory can be switch on and off.

arrow DCC Items type:

- switch decoder - switching on accessory causes switch on power on one port, switching off accessory causes switch on power on second port - both ports belongs to the same switch number

- accessory decoder - switching on accessory causes switch on power on port, switching off accessory causes switch off power on the same port.

- accessory decoder with feedback - like 'accessory decoder' but program waits for feedback to finish switching..

- two accessory decoders - switching on accessory causes switch on power on one decoder, swiching off causes switch on power on second decoder

- two accessory decoders with feedback - like previous but program waits for feedback to finish switching

Remarks: To change type of DCC items you must first unbind all DCC items from all 'binding points'.



arrow Switching time (-1 -> don't switch power off; 0 -> default) (msek) - time after which accessory should finish switching.

- for DCC items without feedback - after this time program switch off power on decoder port and finish switching.

- for DCC items with feedback - should be -1, because program should wait for feedback signal. If there is number >=0, program assumes that switch change position without feedback signal

- value 0 means that parameter is taken from DCC System parameters


arrow Max feedback response time before error (0 -> defualt) - maximum time for feedback response time after which program assume error

- value can be type in if previous parameter is -1 and 'type of DCC items' is with feedback

- if accessory doesn't change state (by sending feedback signal) during this time program stops switching and signals error. Program assume than switch isn't change state.

- value 0 means that parameter is taken from DCC System parameters

Binding to DCC Item


After select signal type and DCC items type you should select a 'bind point' on left list and press 'Bind/Unbind' to bind it with new/exist DCC item. After it you should define DCC Item parameters on box on right of window.

arrow On again after (msek): random from ... to ... - If value is >0 then accessory is again switched on after this time. If there is a range of time then program every time random a time from this range
