B The following steps are performed to create a full functioning switchboard: • Drawing the track diagram of the related area • Connecting switches and signals • Placing signals and accessory elements • Creating manual routes • Inserting traffic boxes, if desired • Adding text labels and images The following steps are mainly performed in the switchboard in those cases where it is desired, to monitor the traffic on the layout to a certain degree, or to achieve semiautomatic operation of the layout without running the Visual Dispatcher. If the Visual Dispatcher is being used, you will likely perform the following steps in the Visual Dispatcher rather than a switchboard. • Inserting contact indicators • Arranging semi-automatic control mechanisms 54 2.2 Size and Appearance For each switchboard it is possible to customize the size, i.e. the numbers of rows and columns, and the appearance individually.
The elements in the switchboard are arranged in a grid based system consisting of rows and columns (see Diagram 35). The individual preferences with regard to the appearance of track diagram control panels are very different. For this reason TrainController provides many options to customise the appearance of the control panels individually to your convenience and taste. There are options to select the background and track colours, to apply 3 dimensional light and shadow effects to background and tracks and to select the colours in which the states of certain elements are highlighted. The possibilities are virtually not limited, a few examples are given below: Diagram 36: Standard Format Diagram 36 shows the standard format for display of control panels. A few examples of the unlimited possibilities to customize the appearance are given in the following: Diagram 37 Diagram 38 55
