Advanced Fine Tuning of the Speed Profile
The advanced speed profile is created by measuring the time needed by the affected engine
to pass a certain track section. The scale speed is calculated using the length of the
section and the scale of the model.
For each direction the speed profile contains at most 15 entries for 15 virtual speed
steps out of a total of 1000. Intermediate values are calculated accordingly. In this way
it is possible to calculate the scale speed for each of the 1000 virtual speed steps.
The entries of the speed profile are distributed equally in the range of the available
virtual speed steps. There is no coherence between the number of entries and the
number of speed steps of the decoder.
There are five alternative ways to perform the measurement:
Manual measurement of one single speed step (stop watch).
Automatic measurement of one single speed step by running the engine once from one
momentary track contact to another. This method is also useful to determine the current
maximum scale speed of an engine.
Automatic measurement of one single speed step by running the engine on a track section
with three occupancy sensors. This method is also useful to determine the current
maximum scale speed of an engine.
Automatic measurement of the complete speed profile with momentary track contacts
Automatic measurement of the complete speed profile with three occupancy sensors
You can measure single values of the speed profile manually like using a stop watch or
by running the train once over the measuring section.
TrainController also provides the possibility of measuring all relevant values between
the threshold speed and the maximum speed automatically. For this purpose you
have to arrange a track section, which is either limited by a momentary track sensor on
each side, or which is monitored by track occupation sensors. To each track sensor a
