I'm new to Lionel sensor track use. I understand how to hook 'em up, set recording options, etc. But the following feature described in the LCS Sensor Track user manual puzzles me ... "Locomotive information and ID automatically load into all Legacy CAB-2 remotes as the loco pass over the LCS sensor track"
Here are my questions:
1) For existing engines that I've already assigned a unique engine ID and entered loco type, name, etc, via CAB-2, does passing over sensor track automatically overwrite data I previously entered manually in my CAB-2? Maybe I entered engine type incorrectly originally or maybe I purposely manually entered a characteristic different from what Lionel says it is. Does running my existing engine over sensor track cause automatic overwrite of my manually entered CAB-2 engine characteristics?
2) For new engines just taken out of Lionel shipping box and not yet assigned a loco ID, do I still manually set engine run/program switch to program and use my CAB-2 first to manually enter a unique engine ID of my choosing then slide engine program switch back to run? Then run the engine in "Run" mode with its new unique engine ID over the sensor track to upload the engine information automatically?
