[[Category:Universal WiFi Throttle]]
It is common for operators to create and disband Multiple Unit “MU” consists during operating sessions. The [[UWT-100]] features a simple method for quickly creating and managing consists that is completely self-contained in the throttle. This method is known as “in-throttle” consisting which operates independently of the command station. In-throttle consisting can be used in conjunction with or independently of decoder-based “advanced” consists.

The UWT-100 consisting system is capable of controlling the speed, direction, and functions for all locomotives within a consist. The UWT-100 can also select JMRI-created and managed consists.

Our consisting system features “in-cab control” which allows the user to select the lead locomotive of the consist, effectively putting you “in the cab” as an operator. The Enter button can be used to quickly page through consist members and select the active cab.

===Managing Consists===

When a consist is created, the current cab address will become the first member of that consist. The following options in the “Consisting” menu can be used to manage consists.

'''Add Loco To Consist''' - Enter the address of the locomotive to be added, or select from a list. Pressing the Enter button changes the direction of the locomotive being added to the consist.

'''View Current Consist''' - Shows all members of current consist and their direction within the consist. Selecting a locomotive from the consist provides options to switch to that cab, remove that member, or change direction.

'''Clear Current Consist''' - Disbands the consist, returning all locomotives to independent operation.

'''Consist Functions''' - Determines what functions are assigned to the consist or to the selected cab.<noinclude>
