All units included in the master station will be unlocked, and command transfer within the
master group will be as in an open system.
Units not included in the master station will be locked. It is not possible to take command
from units outside the master station unless the master control unit opens for this. All units
outside the master station will have a lock symbol.

Dening a Master system
A master station is usually defined and units assigned to the master station during system
setup.
¼ Note: When a SimNet group Station is set to Master, one control unit in this steering station
has to be defined as the Master unit as shown below.
Damping
Controls how quickly the display updates values from sensors.
Increasing the damping applies more averaging or smoothing of the data update rate on the
display.
Damping settings are applied to SimNet units belonging to particular damping SimNet
Groups.
¼ Note: If the damping factor for heading is high, the captured heading might differ from the
heading read on the display when using the heading capture function.
