Locomotive Throttle

ContentRocviewControl Dialogs



Throttle Dialog for manual controlling locomotives:

Example of different throttle window sizes
Standard Minimum Large
. cx=200 cy=260 cx=140 cy=240 cx=220 cy=320
. images show 75% of the original size (macOS)









An individual dialog can be opened for each locomotive.

By double clicking on a table line in the Loco panel or a Loco image of the Loco Widgets (if activated) opens this dialog.
This dialog can be opened several times.

Enlarging the dialog also widens the buttons. Longer names of the function keys are then easier to read.

From Rev. 2.1.2324+ the sub-areas can be changed (red marking), e.g. to increase the area of the slider (2nd image).

If Rocview is ended, and one or more Throttle dialogues are still open, by default the positions and the chosen locos will be restored at next start. This can be deactivated in the Rocview Configuration.

If the Rocview option speedometer is active, a speed reported by the decoder via RailCom may be displayed in the optional area KM/H.
For details see here
