 +
 + \\
 +===== Incline =====
 +For decoders without motor regulator the type of incline can be set which will cause increasing or decreasing velocity commands. To be used in case of Delta-like decoders.
 +The type of incline is ignored by locos with regulated motors (see **[[:loc-sbt-en#none_regulated_decoders|Locos: SBT]]**).\\
 +//This option is for oneway blocks only.//\\
 +
 +=====Wait=====
 +The time a train should wait in the block can be set to the desired value for trains not running a schedule.\\
 +If the incoming train will wait depends also from the __**[[#type|Block Type]]**__ settings.\\
 +The defined wait time is not used if the block has a manual signal.\\
 +
 +==== Random ====
 +Certain or all trains, depending on the combination of **[[:block_traintype-en|Block and Train Types]]**, will wait in the block. The waiting time is set on a random basis within the time frame given from the //Random Min.// and //Random Max.// fields, respectively (see [[#wait_details|Wait details]] below). \\
 +With a wait time of 0 (zero) the train will stop and start.
 +
 +==== Fixed ====
 +Certain or all trains, depending on the combination of **[[:block_traintype-en|Block and Train Types]]**, will wait in the block. The wait time is set in the field //Fixed// of the [[#wait_details|Wait details]] (see below). \\
 +With a wait time of 0 (zero) the train will stop and start.
 +
 +==== Loco ====
 +Certain or all trains, depending on the combination of **[[:block_traintype-en|Block and Train Types]]**, will wait in the block. The wait time is the //Block wait time// specified in the **[[:loc-details-en|Loco Properties]]** of each loco.
 +
 +==== No ====
 +Trains will not stop and wait in the block, if possible (requires a free next destination).
 +
 +==== Stop ====
 +Certain or all trains, depending on the combination of **[[:block_traintype-en|Block and Train Types]]**, will stop in the block and change in the idle mode.
 +> Note: This option could impact Schedules **[[:schedules-index-en|Schedule]]** or Tours **[[:tours-en|Tour]]** .
 +
 +> **Note on FiFo blocks for cars:** If the FiFo size is greater than 0 in a block, waiting is ignored, i.e. all cars pass through this block without stopping. To stop cars in blocks anyway, **[[signal-gen-en#manual_operated|manually operated signals]]** must be used. Together with actions or scripts, this can also be used to simulate all waiting situations.
 +
 + \\
 +
 +===== Wait details =====
 +Times for **Random** and **Fixed** waiting are set here.
 +All time fields are in seconds.
 +
 +//Random Min.// and //Random Max.// together result in a time frame within which the waiting time will be in **Random** mode.
 +
 +> Example: //Random Min.// = 10 and //Random Max.// = 60: Trains will wait at least 10 and a maximum of 60 seconds in the block. 
 +
 +====Random wait====
 +This value is compared with a random number between 0 and 100.\\
 +If set to zero, default, this option is disabled.\\
 +If the random number is greater than this value there will be no wait in this block.\\
 +
 +
 +
 + \\
 +==== (+/-), (+) und (-) ====
 +The selection determines for which entry side(s), the waiting option applies.\\
 +(+) side the train waits only, if it arrives in the +side of the block, no waiting from the (-) side, etc.
 + \\
 +
 +
 +=====Velocity measurement=====
 +The average velocity in **KMH** is calculated by setting the measurement **Distance** between **enter** and **in** in millimeters.\\
 +Check the **MPH** box if MPH is wanted. (The distance is still to be set in millimeters!)
 + \\
 +|< >|
 +|  The calculated velocities are shown in the server window.  |
 +|  {{velocitymeasurement-en.png?400}}  |
 +
 +  * Block Velocity Measurement will **only** be active in **auto mode**.
 +  * Measurement is not possible with only an Enter2In event.
 + \\
 +See __**[[mvtrack-en|MVTrack]]**__ for more information.
 +====Recording====
 +See __**[[mvtrack-setup-en#recording|MVTrack Recording]]**__ for more information.
 +
 +=====Speed=====
 +Block speed applies to all trains arriving and departing the block (Route speed will overwrite this setting.)
 +
 + \\
 +Relation between block speed and loco speed (see **[[:loc-int-en|Locos: Interface]]** for the latter):
 +|< >|
 +^  Block Speed  ^  Loco Speed  ^
 +|  Min.  |  V_min  |
 +|  Mid.  |  V_mid  |
 +|  Max.  |  V_max  |
 +|  Cruise  |  80% of V_max ((If not defined differently with **[[:loc-speed-en#v_cru_-_kmh_cru|V_cru]]**)) |
 +|  %  |  xx% of V_max  |
 +
 + \\
 +
 +====Arrive====
 +This velocity will be used if a train arrives, triggering the **enter** event.
 +
 +====Departure====
 +For departing trains the velocity can be set to fit your requirements. This velocity is maintained until the next **enter** event.
 +
 +===Reduce speed===
 +If the option is deactivated, the Block speed on departure is only used if the current Locomotive speed will not reduced thereby. \\
 +|:!: If a train stops in front of a block with BBT, please note: __ ** [[: block-details-en # speed | reduce speed]] ** __. If this option is deactivated, 2 BBT speed entries are possible, depending on whether the train had to stop in the prior block or could pass through. |
 + \\
 +====Stop====
 +This velocity will be used if a train triggers an **enter** event, and must stop in this block.  (//Only when the arrival speed higher is.//) \\
 +The percent choice will use the percentage of the arrive velocity. See __**[[route-speed-en#percent|Route speed]]**__\\
 +
 +====Max. KmH====
 +The maximal block speed in KmH.\\
 +  * Only locos set to KmH or Percent with KmH type are affected. (See __**[[loc-int-en#speed|Speed]]**__ options.) 
 +  * Loco speed remains unchanged if the actual speed is less than max. KmH.
 +
 + \\
 +
 +=====Type=====
 +This is used to define if an approaching train, which wants to enter, matches the **Type** for this block.\\
 +If it is set to Intercity and a Freight train is approaching, which does not find any alternative blocks, the Freight train would run through this block but if possible without waiting like a passenger train.\\
 +Further information is found __**[[block_traintype-en|Here]]**__.\\
 +The checkboxes are of type tri-state which can be used to disable wait for a type if set in the undetermined state.
 +
 +The check box can assume three states:
 +|Empty|{{:icons:blocktype_no_checked.png}}  |{{:icons:blocktype_no_checked_2.png?20}}  |Type not selected |
 +|  ✔  |{{:icons:blocktype_checked.png}}  |{{:icons:blocktype_checked_2.png?20}}  |Type selected |
 +|  −  |{{:icons:blocktype_no_wait.png}}  |{{:icons:blocktype_no_wait_2.png?20}}  |Type selected, no wait |
 +(//The representations depends on the underlying operating system. Column 2 = Linux and Mac, column 3 = Win//)\\
 +\\
 +**Note:** If no type is selected, the block details settings will not be evaluated.
