How do I power up track 1 (A-U) when TR1 is programmed with a lashup?
Its been four or so years and a big state-to-state move since running trains, and now that I'm digging out trains from moving boxes getting ready to run, my memory of how I set this up back in the day has dimmed.
I have a ZWC, Legacy Cab-2 (cab v1.6, base v1.6). ZWC works well. That is, I reset A thru D handles to zero volts in the "off" position, internal handle gears meshing properly, refreshed their lubrication.
Checked each of the four channels output with Legacy remote disconnected - and confirmed with multimeter that each handle manually provides 0 to 18V. (Bricks are the Powermaster 180s - two, with jumpers in B and D). Okay.
Connect the Legacy controller to one of the U-posts, power it up first, then turn on the Powermaster bricks. B- and C- posts manually output 0 to 18V as expected; posts A- and D- are at 0 volts, and confirmed manually are at their full power position.
So the ZW is starting up in remote Cab control when powered up with Legacy attached. Memory now less dim.
I select TR then 1, and up pops a Lashup that I made years ago. No way to power up Track 1 (A-U) this way.
Okay, still have those engines; want to maintain the lashup. Cannot for the life of me remember how to input TR with Track number 1 when TR1 is programmed for a lashup.
To confirm the remote works to control the ZW, I input TR 4 (D-U), and sure enough multimeter shows the Cab 2 Velocity Throttle controls power output on D-U, 0 to 18V.
Should I delete the TR1 program with the Lashup, and rebuilt the Lashup to something like TR5 - outside the range of the four ZW power outputs A thru D (i.e. 1 thru 4)?
Or, is there a way on the Cab 2 to power up Track 1 when TR1 is assigned a lashup?
Thank you for any assistance.
