Optimizations tab

Element	Description
Interstages	Add minimum times in interstage: If this option is selected, the target signal states of the individual signal groups have at least the minimum period specified in the signal groups. (Setting can be changed in the SC settings): Alternatively, in the signal controller settings with the option Check minimum times in signal programs, select or deactivate the option Add minimum times in interstage (Defining a signal controller with frequency). Optimizes green time duration: Use optimal length in front: If the option is selected, the green is ended at the start of the interstage when changing from green to red. Green starts as early as possible. If the option is not selected, the green is ended at the start of the interstage when changing from green to red. Use optimal length in back: If the option is selected, the green does not only start at the end of the interstage or at the end of the interstage minus the minimum period when changing from green to red. Green ends as late as possible. If the option is not selected, the green only starts at the end of the interstage or at the end of the interstage minus the minimum period when changing from green to red.

Interstages

Add minimum times in interstage: If this option is selected, the target signal states of the individual signal groups have at least the minimum period specified in the signal groups.
(Setting can be changed in the SC settings): Alternatively, in the signal controller settings with the option Check minimum times in signal programs, select or deactivate the option Add minimum times in interstage (Defining a signal controller with frequency).

Optimizes green time duration:

Use optimal length in front: If the option is selected, the green is ended at the start of the interstage when changing from green to red. Green starts as early as possible.

If the option is not selected, the green is ended at the start of the interstage when changing from green to red.

Use optimal length in back: If the option is selected, the green does not only start at the end of the interstage or at the end of the interstage minus the minimum period when changing from green to red. Green ends as late as possible.

If the option is not selected, the green only starts at the end of the interstage or at the end of the interstage minus the minimum period when changing from green to red.

View tab

Element	Description
Stages	Show signal group ids: Signal group numbers are shown in the stage diagram. Use compact view: A schematic rather than a topographic display is shown in the stage diagram.
Signal programs and interstages	Appearance: You can select from the following display options: Classic 3d tubes 3d boxes Resize automatically: By changing the window size, the row height automatically adjusts to the window height. Show full interstage name in the stage based signal programs: The names are displayed instead of the numbers of the interstages.

Export tab

Element	Description
Common	Render mode Fixed width: Width of export graphic based on Picture width Fixed scale (pixels per second) in pixel per second: Width of export graphic based on Pixel per second entered below. Signal group height: Signal group height in pixels globally for all graphic exports
Signal programs	Picture width: Width of the export graphic in pixels. The given value is taken into account if the Fixed width option is selected as the Render mode. Pixel per second: Number of pixels that represent a second in the export graphic. The given value is taken into account if the option Fixed scale (pixel per second) is selected as the Render mode.
Interstages	Picture width: Width of the export graphic in pixels. The given value is taken into account if the Fixed width option is selected as the Render mode. Pixel per second: Specify the number of pixels that represent a second in the export graphic. The given value is taken into account if the option Fixed scale (pixel per second) is selected as the Render mode.
Stage sequence	Stage width: Width of the stage in pixels for the export. The given value is taken into account if the Fixed width option is selected as the Render mode.
