XPressNet Throttle

The XPressNetThrottle program is a simple program that provides a "virtual" replacement for a LM50 or LM100 on your computer screen.

Main GUI

Its basic GUI in Throttle Mode is shown here:


On the left is a field to enter the locomotive's address, and buttons for selecting the locomotive's direction and a slider for selecting the locomotive's speed. On the right is an array of buttons to select the locomotive's function bits. By default, the locomotive address is set to 3 but you can enter a different address. The controls are pretty self explainitory.

Programming Mode

In programming mode, the Main GUI looks like this:


The Manufacturer ID and Version number are fetched and filled in. There is a dropdown menu of standard (common) CVs or you can enter any other CV. The existing value is displayed. You can change it and press ENTER to update the value of the CV register.

Open Port

The Open Port dialog, shown below, selects the serial port to use to connect to the XPressNet bus.
