6.2. Submenu "Operation"
In this submenu you can do all the things that occur during operation of you layout:
 Controlling vehicle and accessory decoders
 Reading out and programme decoders
 Checking feedback modules
 Reading out and displaying system messages
 Setting the model time
The explanations of the input fields are opened when you click on the symbol .
6.2.1. Feedback
 Overview of all connected feedback devices (s88, CAN, BiDiB and LocoNet)
 Management and test of s88- and CAN- feedback modules
s88- (and CAN-) feedback modules
In this menu item you have to set how many s88 modules you have connected. Otherwise,
the feedback modules will not be taken into account when evaluating the s88 messages. A
module with 16 inputs is considered to be one. Modules with fewer inputs (e.g. 8) are
evaluated proportionally (e.g. as ½ module).
Note: CAN feedback modules are connected to the CAN interface, but their feedback signals
are forwarded via the s88 bus. They are therefore managed together with the s88 feedback
modules (→ menu item "Operation / Detectors").
You can also check the occupancy messages of the connected s88 and CAN feedback modules
and thus detect faulty messages. Differences between the display and the actual state of an
input indicate problems with the s88 bus, faults on the s88 module or on system parts
connected to the s88 module.
You can set the type of display
 static or dynamic
 for one or more modules
BiDiB feedback modules
The list is limited to the display of BiDiB nodes that meet the occupancy class requirements
defined in the BiDiB specification.
The display of all BiDiB nodes including the representation of their assignment to the levels as
well as the listing of their properties can be found in the menu item "Operation / BiDiB". There
you also have the option to trigger an Identify command and to perform a reset. → Section

LNet
The display of LocoNet detectors is not yet implemented. It will be implemented with one of
the next updates, which you can then download free of charge.
