BigNoj Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I've tried running it through Google translate but still don't understand it. Life used to be so much simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you don’t need or can’t understand the extra features leave it on Std Mode. Its not compulsory to use the Special Modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5 accessory decoders operating 24 sets of points on my layout and was a little unsure what the new features offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 A full description of the new features is in the manual - now online as linked to.Forums the world over attract everyone from village idiots to professional engineers. No one generally shows their classification so answers tend to have to first cater for the lowest common denominator and then work up as user capability is revealed. Whilst this may appear patronising it is in fact the simplest filter method to quickly get to the root of a problem. You would be surprised by the number of self confessed experts who pop up on forums who couldn’t safely wire a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
