If there is a known engine or train located at the indicator, when the indicator is turned
on, then the color of this engine or train is used for highlighting. Otherwise the track
elements are highlighted in the same color as the indicator.

Diagram 53: Highlighting occupied track sections
In the image displayed above both tracks of the station are occupied. They are highlighted
in the same color as the corresponding contact indicators. The route to track 1 is
activated. Route and highlighted tracks are visible at the same time.
Track highlighting can not only be realized with contact indicators, but also with other
types of indicators, which are described in other sections of this Users Guide (for example
flagman indicators or virtual contact indicators).
2.10 Displaying Train Names and Symbols in the Switchboard
The names or symbols of trains located in a certain block can be displayed in the
switchboard with so called traffic boxes. These are elements, that are associated with
blocks. Traffic boxes are able to show the status of the related block as well as an image
and/or the name of the train that is currently located in the block, if any. For further details
please refer to section 5.5, “Train Detection and Train Tracking”.
Traffic Boxes can be used, too, for quick and easy setup of automatic operation of your
trains. These boxes mark the location of the blocks of your layout in the track diagram.
2.11 Using the Computer Keyboard as a Control Panel
For the convenient operation of switches, signals, accessories and routes, it is possible
to specify a hot key on your computer keyboard. A hot key is one of the keys A to Z or
0 to 9. An element, to which a hot key has been assigned, can be operated conveniently
by pressing its hot key.
Hot keys are assigned in the dialog tab displayed in Diagram 44, page 58.
