DCS 240+ Set OpSw 36

On a DCS240+, setting an OpSw is actually pretty straightforward. The only tricky part is that OpSw 36, 37, 39, and 40 have a special "execute on restart" procedure.

To execute OpSw 36 (clear slots and consists)

1. Save a screen shot of the JMRI Slot Monitor.

2. Move the DCS240+ MODE switch to OP.

3. Disconnect the layout LocoNet from the DCS240+ (Digitrax recommends programming the command station with only a throttle attached). 

4. Plug a throttle (DT402, DT500, DT602, etc.) directly into the DCS240+.

5. Press SWCH (or SWITCH) on the throttle.

6. Enter 36.

7. Set it to Closed (C).

   • On a DT402/DT500, that's usually the C/- key.

8. You should get a confirmation beep. 

9. Now the special part. Move the DCS240+ MODE switch to SLEEP.

10. Move it back to RUN.

11. The DCS240+ executes the clear operation during this transition and automatically resets OpSw 36 back to its normal state. 

12. In the JMRI Slot Monitor confirm that the slots are cleared.
