Virtual

Content → Command Stations → Virtual

The Virtual CS is the default configuration when no other interface is defined.
This library prevents confronting the novice user with communication issues at first start, and is a tool for testers and developers to 'run' without damaging loco's.

• Sensor emulation with optional timed reset.
• Extended traces for addressing for all methods.
• CV read generate a random number in the range of 0…255.
• A booster statistics reset will trigger random generated values.
• A stress runner to test the monitor messaging throughput.
• Timed commands for resetting the switch motor output.

Do'nt forget to give the sensors an address, otherwise Rocrail goes wrong in the simulation mode.

For normal use no setup is needed.

• Activate the Sensor Reset option. The activation of the option simplyfies tests with virtual CS; Sensors need only one click for activation and reset themselves after given sensor sleep time. A manual reset of the sensor is not necessary.

• The sensor sleep, in ms, is used for the timing of the reset.
  The default of 200ms is very short; Recommended are 2500ms.

Note: For test of manual set of route by means of outputs (example here Using outputs to set routes) the option “Reset” must be deactivated.

If the “Overrule throttle” option is set field events will be generated for speed and function commands.
