Computer Interface

The Computer Interface is an optional accessory that enables

complete customization of all sounds.

The Computer Interface consists of a CD and serial cable for use

with Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. If your computer
does not have a serial port (many recent machines do not) you will need
a USB to serial adapter. The CD contains software to customize sounds
from the Phoenix Sound library. Connecting the serial cable to the board
through the access jack allows you to download sounds for different
engines and change the following:

Individual sound volumes

Manual vs. Programmed response for bells and whistles
(horns)

Assign sounds to terminals and DCC functions

Adjust how often a sound plays

Change shutdown time

Change and modify chuff rhythm, compression and tone

Configure and fine tune for various control systems such
as: AC, DC, DCC, MTS, Locolinc®, Train Engineer, RCS,
Reeds and Air Wire 900

plus many other features you will discover as you
familiarize yourself with the system

All adjustments, upgrades and sound loading can be made

through the Access Jack. You will not need to take the model apart after
installation is complete.
