[TD="colspan: 2"]I currently have my brakes on Switch SF so that I may easily toggle them on and off.
I would like to also program Switch SH so that I can set a parking brake during startup and shutdown. I am trying to eliminate the need to constantly hold Switch SF in the on position.
What are the steps in programing so that both switches function as desired?
Thanks,

To what you want, you need to use a condition. You have the brake set on the spring-loaded switch. Set a condition and then go into the AFR section of the Model Menu. Go to the AFR of the channel that is controlling the brake. Select the "brakes set" condition and change it from "Gr" to "Sngl". Set both RateA and Rate B to 0%, and then set the offset to 100% or -100%, whichever position activates the brakes. Now, when you activate the condition, the brake channel will go to the position that will put the brakes on and will keep them there until you change the condition.
