ATLS System

[boat]

If its one of my original ATLS assets, it will show 'something like' ATLS1 65,E,O. What it actually shows, (in blue) will depend on what settings you have made to the asset.

eg -

Here, my ATLS Controller is just being used in 'Level Crossing Mode'. It's set to Channel 2 so it therefore displays ATLS2[-1]. If you type whatever it says on you controller in blue, into the 'Name:' box and then save the Route, it will forever be there.

(Obviously to save to the 'route', you need to have opened Surveyor edit in 'Route' mode not 'Session'. If you're working in a Session Layer and place the asset while in Session Layer it will default to Session only. Even then you can still save the asset to a Route though if you change the layer setting...

Here's another example.

This Controller is on Channel 1 and has been set to control traffic lights. This time the encoded information displays ATLS1[65,D,N] so you will need to type those numbers into the 'Name:' box and save. (You must include the square brackets and commas too. EXACTLY as shown)

All MY ATLS assets have this facility so you can save all settings to a Route, (if you want to). Its up to you.

So in other words change it to route layer?

Okay I'm not seeing a layer tab.

TS09 doesn't have layers guys.

So I basically can't save it to a route.

I'm not running TS 2009 at the moment but even from TRS 2004 there were Routes and Sessions.

If you want to save something to a 'Route', (That's anything from a train to a tree), you need to open your map in the 'Route' section. Then save it.
In Ts 2010 and I thought TS 2009, you can save things to Sessions as well. But what you save in a 'Session' won't be on the 'Route'

Open a new map in the 'Route' side, place youre ATLS assets and anything else.

Then name and save the ATLS assets as described above. The settings will then be saved to a Route.

it is probably worth noting that the latest patch to TS12 saves soups to the route too, so you dont need these sessions to contain the data. just another reason why TS12 is better.
