Yes, just as you guessed the
throttle is the device you carry around in your hand that will control your train.
Your Digitrax throttle also performs additional features like:
Control your locomotives
You use it to program your decoders (Mobile and
Stationary).
You use it to program your Command Station with the
features your want and don't want.
On your locomotive you can turn on and off lights, if you
have sound decoders you can blow the whistle or ring the bell.
Some throttles you can interface with Stationary decoders
and operate turnouts or remote devices.
Think of your throttle as the Key
Board on you PC, it is where you tell the CPU what to do and how to do it. Your
throttle is the same type of device, it's used for INPUT.
Digitrax produces several models
of throttles depending on the features you want.
