Note, that a license of TrainProgrammer is required to write values into the<br />

CVs of a decoder with <strong>TrainController</strong>.<br />

Even though this procedure has been described here at the end of this section for<br />

reasons of the contents, the trimming of the maximum decoder speed step <strong>and</strong> other<br />

speed related decoder CVs must be performed, before the measurement of the<br />

speed profile is performed.<br />

Using a Roller Test Bench<br />

<strong>TrainController</strong> <strong>Gold</strong> additionally provides the possibility to perform all measurements<br />

on a roller test bench. This can normally considerably reduce the time needed for<br />

the measurements. For this purpose a roller test bench is required, which can be connected<br />

to a computer. This enables the computer to determine the speed of the locomotive<br />

on the roller test bench<br />

.<br />

The following roller test benches are suited:<br />

• Roller test benches from Zeller with connection to the computer via Speed-Cat<br />

The following methods for measurement are available:<br />

Automatic measurement of one single speed step.<br />

Automatic measurement of the complete speed profile.<br />

3.6 Headlights, Steam <strong>and</strong> Whistle<br />

For each engine an arbitrary number of engine function controls (e.g. light, sound,<br />

smoke, etc.) can be defined. Each function can perform one of the following:<br />

• activating a built-in function of an engine decoder<br />

• playing a sound file<br />

• executing a list of operations<br />

Engine Functions can be executed<br />

• manually by using the auxiliary function controls of the train window<br />
