I modified a well-functioning route and added one lok function (sound) command. The result: The route continues to function correctly but the sound command is not working. Actually, the sound only works when the layout is powered on. And here is the strange part: After succesfully deleting the sound command again from the route, the loko continues sound when powering up the layout. What the h.... did I do wrong? I consulted the manual, but it is of no use in this part. Once more I hope to hear from more skilled people out there. Best regards Anders Pihl Knudsen PS: My apologies if the topic is already covered in other threads. Edited by user 14 November 2015 15:26:25(UTC) \| Reason: Problem solved thanks to Clapcott

If you look at the command tree for your route, you should see both a function on and a function off indication. For a momentry function If the commands are too close together the "front end" processor will have completed the on and off before the "backend " cycles around to look for work - the conclusion = no net work to be done. Conversely if your function is specifically on and off, you may have seen the two icons and deleted one. Result function stays on. I would suggest first extending the time delay of the "off" function. To edit this value, - enter Memory setup mode, - call up the route in question - tap and hold the icon for the "Function Off" After a couple of seconds you will get a popup dialogue where you may edit the time delay

PS: Do you happen to know why the sound command "sticks" even though I deleted both the activation and stop command? /Anders

PS: Do you happen to know why the sound command "sticks" even though I deleted both the activation and stop command? Yes, the timing did the trick. I wasn't aware of the press and hold feature on the CS2. And the "sticky sound effect" disappeared after the CS2 was shutdown. Thanks a lot Peter Best regards Anders
