- Signals represent a physical signal on the ground, which may be a set of coloured lights, a mechanical device, or even just a sign for cab-based signalling. It may even be virtual, as in existing only as a specific location on a track with no sign or lineside device. Each signal needs to specify a list of routes, zero or one of which can be set (active) at any one time. If a signal is an automatic signal, that is it always works automatically (ignoring temporary replacement options), then the "Automatic" field should be selected, and a single route provided. That route need not be set as it will always be active for automatic signals. Each signal needs a [b]Signal Type[/b] property set. This comes from the [b]Signal Set[/b] assigned to the [b]Interlocking[/b]. The [b]Signal Type[/b] determines the aspects that this signal can display. Optionally, a [b]Default Aspect[/b] can be set which will override the default aspect specified for that signal type (or that [b]Signal Set[/b] if not specified for that signal type). This is the aspect displayed if no route is set, or conditions to show a proceed aspect are not met. Optionally, a [b]TRTS Latch[/b] may be specified which is set by trains that are preparing to depart from a location (conditions apply). For signals with routes that normally release, a separate automatic option (fleeting) is available which will cause the signal to [b]not[/b] release the route upon passage of a train.
