Keep in mind that LE is more about what hardware is where, what relates to what, etc.. If you used it to create the signaling, you still need that. I’ve combined the use of different panes within the system for different needs. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team ? ?

Like you could have a turnout on the LE pane and a toggle switch on the CPE pane for the exact same layout turnout. Same for sensors and other objects. ? For example, I used a LE panel to describe a layout and generate the signal logic. I then built a CPE panel to be the CTC control for that layout. They work together very well. ? Let me know if you have more questions about multiple panels. Just remember, they all are contained in a single file. That’s why sometimes when I’m explaining I use the word pane instead of panel. A single ‘panel files’ can contains many window panes of different tools, views, LE or CPE, etc… ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team ? ?
