Problem with Scaletrains Ditch Lights

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pathals:
R
Thanks much! Got them working. Appreciate your help.

Pathals:
Thank you G8B4Life! Appreciate your help and they are working now. Wish there was a list somewhere saying what all the functions do, clearly not obvious from their title to me.

ON28:
Considering how RP's visual control interface is light years ahead of the NCE and Digitrax protocols, it's a shame Tim has to label a light function "On Off 1 Sec Dual Rev 2". That's engineering gobbledygook that has little meaning to users, does a disservice to the brand and holds back growth in a competitive market. That's why manufacturers need intermediaries that help departments speak to each other, and to the end product, in ways that are meaningful and productive. 

G8B4Life:
Pathals,

Glad we got you sorted out in the end. A list of what each function does? That could possibly be made. We do have a button guide somewhere in the user guides section but not a function / effects guide.

ON28,

I don't disagree, consumer grade information is not Ring Engineering's strong point (it's a problem that runs in the whole train control industry as a whole really but some are better than others), but in the case of naming things, like in this dual on / off effect case it also comes down to how many characters fit across the screen of the HC. As far as I know there isn't a newline character in RailPro, ie a name can only take up the single line that it's on and the width of that line is obviously limited.

Philip Papale:
I understand all the above but is it possible to have the ditch lights constant at times and flash at other times?
