PROGRAMMING and EXTENDED FUNCTION
CONTROL
PROG/ESC/F10
Provides selection of the various system
menus available for setting up decoders,
cabs, time, etc.
This button also doubles as an “escape” key
during number/data entry. Whenever the
cursor (flashing rectangular box) is shown on the cab display to indicate the cab is
waiting for data to be input you can press PROG/ESC to cancel the data entry and
return to normal operations.
The following menus are accessed round robin fashion with each successive press of the
PROG/ESC key when in normal operations:
First press: Program on the Main (Operations Mode programming)
Second Press: Assign loco to Cab
Third Press: Set Fast Clock
Fourth Press: Use programming Track
Fifth Press: Set up Command Station
Sixth Press: Set up Cab Parameters
Seventh Press: Program accessory decoders on the mainline
Eighth Press: Set up Macros (switch route control)
Ninth press: Browse Advanced Consists
Tenth press: Program Signal decoders on the mainline
Pressing ENTER at any of the above menus will select that menu, pressing PROG/ESC
will step to the next menu. You can use ‘shortcuts’ to get to the menus you like. For
example: Pressing PROG/ESC followed by 4 takes you to the Program Track menu.
Pressing SHIFT and PROG/ESC activates F10.
EXPN/F11
Reserved for future features. When the cab is wireless this button is used to access the
radio setup menu. When the cab is tethered, it toggles between the function status for
F1-F28 and the normal LCD display. Pressing SHIFT and EXPN activates F11.
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 activates F12.
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 25.
When the radio control option is installed the SHIFT button will also turn on the backlight
of the LCD for about 5 seconds. If more keys are pressed within the 5-second period the
PROG/ESC EXPN 28/128 SHIFT
