Train Dispatcher 3Figure 10 - Switch Status LineThe information fields in the status line from left to right are the following:♦♦♦The switch numberThe switch nameThe train speeds when a train goes over a switch that is in the reverse position. The highest and lowest trainspeeds of all types of trains are shown.♦ Switch failure information including the time a maintainer will arrive to fix a switch.To display more information about the switch, place the mouse pointer on the switch and click the right mouse button,and the dialog in Figure 11 will appear.Figure 11 - Switch InformationData in this dialog cannot be modified by the Train Dispatcher 3 user. The following describes each of the fields in thisdialog:♦♦♦Switch number - the unique switch number assigned to this switch.Switch name - the name of the switch.Control/monitor name – An advanced version of Train Dispatcher 3 called Train Dispatcher 3 Pro is capableof monitoring and controlling external devices such as real railroad ground equipment or a model railroaddisplay. The remote monitor name is used to associate external devices to the devices in the Train Dispatcher3 display.Page 126 December, 2000
Train Dispatcher 3♦♦♦♦♦♦OS point - contains the OS point assigned to the switch. OS points are used by Train Dispatcher 3 to create atrain graph. OS points can be assigned to multiple blocks or switches.If an OS point is not assigned to the switch, “none” will be displayed in this field.Reverse Left Block - the block, switch or diamond to the left of the switch when the switch is in the reverseposition. The switch can either have a value in the “Reverse Left Block” or “Reverse Right Block” field, but notboth. If the switch does not have a reverse left position, this field will not appear.Reverse Right Block - the block, switch or diamond to the right of the switch when the switch is in the reverseposition. The switch can either have a value in the “Reverse Left Block” or “Reverse Right Block” field, but notboth. If the switch does not have a reverse right position, this field will not appear.Normal Left Block - the block, switch or diamond to the left of the switch when the switch is in the normalposition.Normal Right Block - the block, switch or diamond to the right of the switch when the switch is in the normalposition.SWITCH REVERSE TRAIN SPEEDS - the speeds to which trains will be limited when moving over a switch thatis in the reverse position. Each type of train will travel at the indicated speed for the length of time it takes theentire train to move over the switch.If there is no speed in this field for a type of train, the train’s speed over a switch in the reverse position will notvary from its normal speed in the block.3.5.3. Diamond InformationWhen the user places the mouse pointer on a grid square that contains a diamond, the status display line at the top ofthe screen will display some information about the diamond (see Figure 12).Figure 12 - Diamond Status LineThe information fields in the status line from left to right are the following:♦The diamond number♦ The diamond name♦ If the diamond is automatically signaled (see Paragraph 6.2.6)♦The number of trains per day that automatically move left to right and right to left (top to bottom and bottom totop) across the diamond (see Paragraph 6.5)4. STARTING A SIMULATIONWhen Train Dispatcher 3 is executed the last territory used will automatically be loaded. To load another territoryselect the “Change Territory Track File” menu item under the “File” menu.To start the simulation click the “Start” button in the tool bar near the top of the screen. The first time this button isclicked after the program is executed or a new territory is loaded the Start Time and Day Selection dialog will appear(see Figure 13).Page 136 December, 2000
