• If the current setting does not coincide with the desired setting,
it will be indicated with a small exclamation mark.
Depending on the setup of your feedback modules it might be
possible that feedback lines are switched. If you do not want to
rewire those you can simply check the box „Swap SwitchPilot
Feedback". If the SwitchPilot has not yet been programed for
turnout numbers 13 – 16 you can now continue as shown in
section 8.2.1.
