NCE Mini-Panel Instruction - page 7
Command Descriptions:
The following commands can be setup through the ProCab user interface and sent by
the Mini Panel:
Accessory/Macro commands
? Accessory Command - all NMRA standard accessory addresses (1-2044) can be
sent via the accessory command
? Macro command - all NCE macro numbers (0-255) can be sent via the Macro
command
Locomotive commands
Speed and functions may be controlled
? Select loco - A locomotive must be selected before any commands can be sent to
that loco. Any NMRA standard locomotive address (up to 9999) may be selected.
Short addresses fro 1-127 and long addresses 0-9999 are all valid and are entered
in the same manner as they are selected in normal operations with a Pro/Power
Cab. A leading zero before and address in the range of 1-127 indicates a long
address. Once a loco address is selected all speed, function and Ops programing
commands will be sent to that address unless another address is selected.
? Speed commands - Both 28 and 128 speed mode commands can be sent. Once
the speed is entered the direction can be changed by pushing the “DIRECTION”
button.
? Function commands - Function commands for F0-F8 can be sent. Due to the way
the NMRA has defined function operation, functions are not controlled individually
but are controlled in groups of four or five (or eight) at once. The state of F0-F4
(function group 1) must be sent as one command while the state of F5-F8 (function
group 2) is as a different command. When you choose the ‘Function’ option from
the Loco commands Menu you must choose which function group you want to
control
ENTER FUNC GROUP
1=F0-F4 2=F5-F8
Once the group is selected you can select which functions in that group are to be
on or off.
