Control Monitor
Compared to the Sp Dr S60 interlocking system, Sp Dr S600 does not have a number entry panel and neither does it have ZNP. For a Sp Dr S 600 system those systems are - simply said - combined into Control Monitor and a data entry keyboard (Dataeingabetastatur=DET).
Most important thing to remember is that any element - signal/switch etc - to be operated from the control monitor needs to be adressed by its exact name.

- Memory blocks
- Line showing offered trains
- Keys to excute commands
When you right-click in the control monitor, you will get several additional options for the presentation of the control monitor. You can hide / unhide the keys to excute commands, change the size of the control monitor window as well as changing the screen colors.

These commands are executed by applying or .
Special commands
The following commands are computer-specific. Those are necessary, as the PC does not have the special keyboard as present on a real signal box.
Input | Function |
[memory block number] / | Change to memory block. By entering 3 and / (Numeric keyboard) memory block 3 becomes the active memory block. |
[Line number of active memory block] | Entering 3 (Numeric keyboard) executes the command on line 3 of the active memory block. |
* (Numeric keyboard) | Contents of the command line are stored in the first unused line of the active memory block. |
Left Arrow | Change to previous 6 memory blocks |
Right Arrow | Change to next 6 memory blocks |
Space | Control monitor window to the front and activate |
Escape | Deactivate control monitor window (allowing other keyboard input resp. commands) |
