We may also be able to show how we integrate that data through the use of our editor, which displays signal memory, points memory input,output bits etc for any given interlocking also including westlocks. This tool is 3/4 years on from the IECC simulator that is currently in use at Watford and was built on top of the engine originally used for Simsig. You may also be interested to know Peter that we already have a simulator in place for Reading workstation 4 at the TVSC.
Indeed it was useful to have the Paddington end of Slough IECC at the mod3 training day that we did at Watford a few years back as a contrast to the panels in the signallers' training school. We however did not explore the the ability to signal trains on a layout as a signaller would- rather we used it to show the aspect sequences and discuss flashing aspects etc.
Certainly I'd be interested in the TVSC simulation, but you upset NR if you call it Workstation4 as they are pretending that it never had that nomenclature. There has been a musical chairs in the room, so there is now no rational reason to call it 4; nd NR are expecting all the contractors to update all the relevant drawings for free that refer to it by number and we want paying for this re-work because of their change!
