With the exception, that manual routes cannot be operated automatically by the Visual
Dispatcher, there are no further differences between manual and automatic routes.

Recording of Routes
All routes, that are not created by the automatic block diagram calculation in the dispatcher
(see section 5.2,
“Blocks and Routes”), require recording of the path of the
route. This is done by selecting the route and using the Properties command of the
Edit menu. In the following dialog, select the tab labeled Route and then press the button
labeled Record.
This procedure starts the switchboard recorder and the path of the route can be recorded.
The running switchboard recorder shows the small control panel displayed below:

The control panel contains four buttons with the following meaning (from left to right):
• Break: Recording is interrupted and no elements are recorded until this button is
pressed once more
• Stop with Save: Recording is terminated and the recorded elements are stored.
• Cancel: Recording is terminated and the recorded elements are not stored.
• Help: Display help information about the recorder.
After starting the switchboard recorder, you are able to record the route. First select the
switchboard in which the intended path of the route is located. Then, click on the track
where the route will begin. Finally, click on the track element, where the route will end.
TrainController displays the tracks along the route as if the route were activated,
but only if it is possible to reach the destination track from the starting track.
