	==Select Accessory==		==Select Accessory==
	~~Upon entering~~ an accessory address, the last known state of the accessory (N/ON or R/OFF) will be indicated with an arrow (< or >). If the last state is unknown, a question mark will be displayed.		To enter the accessory control screen, press the "Select Accy" button on the handheld. To select an accessory to control, use the numerical keypad to enter an accessory number. Accessory addresses 1 to 2044 are supported. Once the accessory address has been entered, press the ENTER button to select that accessory for control. You will presented with options to set the accessory to N/ON or R/OFF. Use button 1 to set the accessory to N/ON, or use button 2 to set the accessory to R/OFF.

			The last known state of the accessory (N/ON or R/OFF) will be indicated with an arrow (< or >) between the options. If the last state is unknown, a question mark (?) will be displayed.<br />[[File:Cab Bus Select Accessory.jpg\|frameless\|500px]]

			The accessory state is immediately updated across the network, so any other connected throttles (such as a UWT-100) would immediately show the change made using the cab bus throttle if the same accessory number is being displayed on the UWT's accessory window.

	Because the Command Station database supports associating locomotive specific functions types with a given function number (Bell, Horn, Whistle, etc…), the function number on the display can be substituted for an appropriate symbol or letter representing that function type.

	When pressing the '''EXPN''' button, the user can view the status of all functions 0 through 28. Superscript characters are used in order to delimit functions 10 through 19 and 20 through 28.<br />[[File:Cab Bus Locomotive Functions.jpg\|frameless]]		When pressing the '''EXPN''' button, the user can view the status of all functions 0 through 28.
