When the train reaches the occupancy section, then the indicator is turned on. When the
train leaves the section, the indicator is turned off. This again resets the signal, also.
This is performed by the operations of the indicator.
Example: Emergency Stop Button
The following example explains how a push button symbol can be used to perform an
emergency stop of the model railroad layout. It is also shown how the emergency stop
can be triggered by pushing a certain key (here ‘S’) on the computer keyboard.
• Place or select a push button symbol in the control panel.
• Assign ‘S’ as a hot key to the push button (see section 2.7).
• Specify the system operation “Power Off” as an operation of the push button. This
is performed when the push button is pressed.
