If data is being sent at only 2400 baud, how can TPL (or any other program) really control a large layout?
Actually, in terms of controlling your layout, 2400 baud is really pretty fast. This equates to more than 100 engine or switch commands per second! TPL constantly monitors the communications line and sends commands to the Interface as soon as it can accept more data. In addition, switch and signal commands are “grouped” together to send a rapid stream of commands in a single burst. If you’ve ever used the Marklin Memory unit, you’ve seen how fast it can throw solenoids — literally dozens per second. TPL works the same way.
