28/128/F12
Provides the ability to toggle between 28 and 128 speed step operation of the active
loco/consist. Pressing this button will display the speed step mode you have selected
on the cab LCD. The LCD display will be set to the normal operation display the next
time a function is toggled or ENTER is pressed. Pressing SHIFT and 28/128

SHIFT
This button gives each key on the ProCab an “alter ego”. When pressed and held
while pressing another key on the cab the alternate value of that key can be used.
For example: To access the function F10 you simply press SHIFT and PROG/ESC
at the same time to activate FUNCTION 10. Every key can be programmed to any
current or future feature we may think up. This is like having a whole cab full of
OPTION keys. Each key is preprogrammed at the factory to one of these alternate
uses. Try pressing SHIFT and 4. This takes you directly to the USE THE
PROGRAMMING TRACK menu. A list of the shifted keys is tabulated on page 21.
EXTENDED FUNCTION CONTROL (F10 - F28)
Control of functions F13 through F28 has been added. To access these function
numbers program the OPTION key to a value of 122 (see CAB SET UP, below).
Pressing OPTION will display “F10 through F19 on the bottom line of the cab.
Pressing a digit will toggle that number plus ten. For example. pressing 6 will issue an
F16 command.
Pressing OPTION a second time will display “F21 through F28” on the cab. Pressing
a digit with this display will toggle that number plus twenty.
Pressing OPTION a third time will return to the F10 through F19 display. Pressing
Prog/Esc at any time will abort the operation.

your liking.
To access the cab set up mode:

2)Unplug your cab from the Power Panel.
3)Press and hold down the SELECT LOCO button while plugging in the cab. The
cab will now enter its internal setup program. At any time you may press PROG/
ESC to leave set up mode.
4)Press ENTER to accept the current cab address (unless you want to change it).
To change the cab address, type in a new address such as 3 followed by the
ENTER key. If you make a mistake just unplug the cab and re-plug it while holding
down the SELECT LOCO key.
NOTE: If you program the address to zero the cab will reprogram itself to the
original factory values, including the cab address, which will be set to 2.
5)At the “1=YARD 2=NORMAL” prompt you can press ENTER to accept the current
operating mode. Yard mode only works in Pro Cab
TM .
To select between “normal”
