After you have selected your locomotive, simply press any of the function keys listed below to produce the described effects.
  • Page 10 Sound-of-Power™ Your diesel locomotive will produce labored diesel motor sounds under acceleration and lighter diesel motor sounds under deceleration but only if CV 3, or CV 23 and CV or CV 24 are set to non-zero positive values. The level of labored sounds is proportional to the values for these four CVs, and how much the throttle is increased or decreased.
  • Page 11 Automatic Features with "Take Control" Operation The Quantum System allows the operator to take control of certain automatic features by using their associated function key. Once you "Take Control", the features will no longer have automatic operation and you will control their operation and their state with their function commands.
  • Page 12 If power is turned off at any stage of Shut Down (Disconnect, Standby or Total Shut Down) or during a Shut Down procedure, the engine will remember the last Shut Down stage where it was during power down, and will power up in the same stage. If Start Up is initiated during any of the above Shut Down procedures, Shut Down is aborted and the engine returns to normal operation.
