i have noticed occasionally on my new ZW-L transformer when I bring the voltage up on one or more tracks and the voltage will go to where I set it then go back to zero on it's own? It will do this until I shut all my power down and the Cab-2 then it will go back to normal again. Anyone know whats causing this?

I have not seen this unless you try to bring up power like an old powermaster using the boost. Using the boost will do as you describe. Turning the knob to bring up power seems to always work for me. Did you program each unit as a ZWL on the cab2?
I programed 4 tracks with a TR address not an engine address. Not sure if that would make any difference?

Are you using Command Control? check the switch on the back of the ZWL.
If in Conventional? Are you talking when you move the smaller handles... There is only one voltage and current meter per side and the meters default to the big handle when your hand is not on the small one. reads the small one when your hand is on it. The voltage jumping here is normal.

I recommend viewing this as there is so much stuff going on with the ZWL that it is ridiculous. Good luck
When it goes down does the gauge stay down if you touch the handle?

I honestly didn't try touching the handle. I have it in command but all the handles are not cranked all the way up except for the tracks I'm running command on. I have in the mean time moved the Legacy base further away from the DCS TIU than it was. Not sure if they would interferer with each other? This has only happened about 3 times since I've had it this week.
