11.4.1. Locomotive name

Choose a meaningful name for your locomotive. It helps to find it quicker.

11.4.2. Symbol (Icon)

Touching the locomotive symbol opens the choice list of all available loco-
motive images. The Mobile Control II displays all images available on the
CabControl. The icon has no influence on operations; it only serves for a
quick visual differentiation of your locomotives. You have a choice between
"System Icons" (ex works) images on your CabControl and "User Icons"
defined images.

You may define if you only want to display internal images or user defined
ones, or only steam, diesel or electric locomotive images in the context menu
(touch button at the top right).
With the help of the locomotive icon the command station reco-
gnizes if it is a steam, diesel or electric locomotive. This differen-
tiation comes in handy later on when you are searching a specific
locomotive.

11.4.3. Speed Step Settings

name
In this choice list you may determine the speed step input of this specific
locomotive. However, the command station will not check if this locomotive
actually supports this. ESU decoders will automatically adjust, but not all de-
Locomotive
coder brands have this capability. If in doubt, read the relevant passages in
image
the decoder manual respective to the decoder brand.
11.4.4. Address
Here one must enter the current locomotive address. The valid address range
may be limited. The locomotive will be controlled with this address on the
layout.
If the locomotive has been registered automatically by RailComP-
lus and you then change the address here, the newly selected
address will be written onto the decoder (programmed) once you
have confirmed this change. In all other instances the address
will not be written onto the decoder but must be programmed
manually.

11.4.5. Function button icons

You may assign an icon to each function. One cannot only assign an icon
for each locomotive and for each button, but one can also determine if it is
continuous (latching) function or momentary function.
• Select the desired icon from the list for each function. For your orientation
you will find its meaning illustrated next to the icon.
