i'm considering getting a pair of these and was looking for a bit of clarification n their manual from those who use it.
page 7
Multiple turnout machines can be operated on a single DS64 output.
For example, you can run 2 Tortoise or Switchmaster machines on a sin-
gle DS64 output.
this specifies 2 slow mothin machines. from those who use it, can a pair of solenoid ones be operated as well? specifically pair of guzzling Pecos.
You cannot ‘mix and match’ outputs. As an example, you cannot use
both the slow motion switch machine on the same DS64 as the crossing
signal
just to confirm, as i understand it right, this implies that a single DS64 can be used as either solely a turnout decoder or solely as output decoder. meaning if two chanels are used for solenoid machines, the 2 otherwise Unused remaining chanels can not be used for out put . asking as this sounds as very strange limitation.
and for some reason all the chapters focusing on signal output only talk about crossing gate. is constant output like signal head available? i guess i will need to reread this section
