route table. Note that if you are using an actual switch address as your top
address and you send the opposite closed or thrown command from that set
up in the route; you will operate that switch address only and not the route.
For example: If you set up Switch Address 50 as your Top Address by
sending a Thrown command, you’ll need to send a Thrown command to run
the route. If you send a Closed command you will operate switch address
50 to the closed position if it is an actual swtich address. If Switch address
50 is a virtual top address, nothing will happen if you send a Closed com-
mand.
3. Turnout route commands are stored in a buffer that holds up to 8 com-
mands. The commands are executed in the order received at approximately
1 second intervals. Because it takes more energy to throw solenoid type
turnouts, the DS64 needs approximately 1 second capacitive discharge time
between switch commands to operate solenoid type turnout machines.
Note: If your route includes switch addresses from more than one DS64, they
must both be connected to LocoNet or the route will not run.
For larger routes, you can set up Cascading Routes by using multiple DS64's as
explained in detail in our on-line "DS64 application note".
(www.digitrax.com/ds64) Important Note: You cannot cascade routes with-
in the same DS64 route table.

To reset the turnouts in any Route to their original position, simply
set up a second Route that reverses the positions set up in the first
route.
