The Zimo Database There is a database in the command station. There are various cues in the system that tells you if a loco definition is stored locally or in the database in the MX10 Having 3 MX32 throttles, I don't want to have to update them individually, so I am very interested in this function. As I learn how things work I will document here... Some useful keys The M key will let you upload or download a loco definition... first time I've used that little button! The Locomotive database E+6 RoL button ( III button ) LoR = loco recall, a local memory for quick recall limited to 30 objects hitting the C key to remove an object does not delete them from the object database Column 1 name of loco Column 2 DCC address Column 3 if not blank will identify consist T(#) where # is the number of the consist, 1-9 FT(#) as above but F means consist under control of a different throttle T may mean inactive and FS may mean active normally this column is in turquoise, indicating consist Column 4 a yellow triangle indicating direction of travel Column 5 a number indicating current speed step Column 6 there is something there, but don't know what it is Colors gray seems to indicated deleted item blue is current items green means the loco is in the objectdb and the local throttle memory Operation to pull stuff from the object database, E + 6, scroll and hit A to get it.. This is different from the Object database.. As of 1.27.0350, there are menus to store: objdb picture acc list panels (interlocking) config ObjectDB - the object DB This database You can store and recall this database. I have not tested restoring yet. You can save this database to a USB, follow the menus... you will get a progress indicator from 0 to 100% Note the date is embedded in the file... it does not appear that the filename indicates the contents.
