Legacy Programming Question

No. As long as the only engine you want to program is in PGM using the PGM/RUN procedure it will be the only one to take the ID.

like MTH DCS in that if you are programming or adding an engine does this need to be done on an isolated test track (so the engine is by itself)?

That's not necessary when using DCS.

I regularly add MTH PS2 and PS3 engines while other similar engines. are getting power, or even when started up. All that;s required is a reasonably strong DCS signal.

This and a whole lot more about DCS is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Barry it is my understanding that is true UNLESS you have more than one TIU and they are in super mode. You must turn Super Mode off. Correct?

Thank you Marty!

Barry,

I have several MTH DCS engines and one time I made the mistake of trying to add an engine while I had two other engines on the track (not powered up) and when I programmed (added to engine to DCS) the new engine it caused all the other engines to be programmed with it.  So when I would go to power up the new engine the other engines powered up as well.  When I would hit the horn/whistle they all, in unison, would whistle too.  I had to create an insulated test track that I would use to add the engine to my DCS roster and after this was done they all ran fine (I had to re-add/program all the other engines after I made the mistake of not isolating the engine on a test track).
