Drive Mode - Uhlenbrock Elektronik DAISY User Manual

3.2 Drive mode

The drive mode of the DAISY is activated by pressing the [Locomotive]
key. In drive mode one can drive locomotives and modify operating
parameters of the selected locomotive (electric circuit).
In drive mode, the display shows an "A" for "analog mode" plus the
current loco speed (0=stopped through 126=maximum speed). For
example:
A 98
In the following paragraphs the term "locomotive" will sometimes be
used instead of "electric circuit".
3.2.1 Electric circuit Selection
In analog mode, the DAISY System can be used to control up to 63
different electric circuits (through an equal number of Power2's).
The DAISY throttle default is to control the first electric circuit: #1.
The [Locomotive] key can be used to either activate drive mode (e.g.,
from turnout mode) or, if already in drive mode, to select a different
locomotive.
This is how to proceed:
• Press the [Locomotive] key. The display indicates:
Loco
• Release the [Locomotive] key. The display indicates the currently
selected electric circuit, e.g.:
• Rotate the encoder to select a different electric circuit.
• Confirm the selection by pressing the [Locomotive] key – or abort
selection (regaining control of the previously selected electric circuit),
by pressing either the [Turnout] or [Prog] keys.
3.2.2 Coupling electric circuits
The DAISY System allows one to couple the electric circuit in which a
locomotive is currently driving with the next electric circuit: the electric
circuit in which the locomotive is going to operate, after leaving the
current electric circuit. This allows a locomotive to move from one
electric circuit (layout section) to a different one.
This is how to proceed:
• While controlling the first electric circuit, press the [function] key
• Press the [Locomotive] key in order to start the locomotive selection
process
