What do the Batch and Real Time radio type buttons on the Auto Generate Manifest function box do?
If you use this program to create Switchlists before you hold an operating session, we call this Batch mode operation. In batch mode you simulate the actual running of each train sequenced chronologically correct. This assures that correct switchlists will be created to use in a future operating session. If you use the program in ‘Real Time’, then the running of each train is authorized by the dispatcher during the operations session. In real time mode the switchlists are created during the session in proper chronological sequence.
