A total image of the whole application shows the locs and trains on the left side and the switchboard on the rest of the frame. The switchboard can be accompanied by an overview panel that shows the whole layout (in this case at the bottom) for large layouts that cannot be viewed at once on the screen with enough detail. Extra switchboard views on second screens are possible.
A loc overview that shows a user configurable set of the loc properties available (including the facing signal):
A manual loc controller to control all extra functions by clicking an icon (up to 8 extra functions for an MFX loc on systems that do not support MFX via the second address). Also options to assign a train and/or a route to a loc and to add your notes in a comment field.
To configure a loc use the loc edit with tabs for your own images, speed settings, functions and comments. On an ECoS or Central station the list will be filled with the definitions already defined after going online.
An example of a station complete with signals, decouplers, turnouts, feedbacks, train in block and route reserved notification:
For editing the switchboard you can choose from different items that can be rotated as you like and iTrain will automatically add semi-transparent bridges when items are overlapping. Tabs and copy & paste are supported.
Properties of individual items can be edited by double-clicking.
Blocks are connected by turnouts. In the block editor you can link them together. This is a requirement for automatic block control.
Many routes can be defined and every route can be assigned to one ore more locs. Every route consists of a list of blocks that must be followed and per block you can decide to wait. Alternative blocks or optional blocks are possible to make the route more dynamic. The loc will automatically turn if necessary according to the route.
For direct control over your accessories (for example to program your signals) you can use the keyboard. You can also use it to find out where you have not yet defined entries on your keyboard. It can be enlarged to contain more modules, it can be zoomed in/out and it can show absolute or relative numbers.
For a direct overview of all your feedbacks (S88) you can look at the feedback monitor. It will show the status of all the feedbacks in the system, even the ones not configured in your project. You can also use it to find out where you have not yet defined entries on your S88. It can be enlarged to contain more modules, it can be zoomed in/out and it can show absolute or relative numbers.
