HOW TO BUILD A COMMAND FILE

A command file is nothing more than a list of commands to be transmitted over the TraxBus: one command per line, without checksum (that will be calculated and appended automatically)

Any text editor is suitable for this purpose, save with extension .txt  (i.e.: my_command.txt).

Test a complete network issuing several commands to different units (see left example).

Test sending several commands to single unit  (see right example).


Put the word END where you want to stop the list: this will be considered the end of command list that will be restarted from the beginning.
