All Light JMRI output bits that function as on/off switches. When 'Enabled', a Light will respond to changes of its control Sensor, Turnout or Fast Clock. Variable Lights display different intensities (with a special output decoder). Either a Light or a Turnout, but not both, can control a specific digital output bit (address). ...

All System Name A unique name referring to one device/input etc. in JMRI, either physically present on the layout or virtually in software only ... Systemname Nome Sistema Nom Système System Navn
All Turnout 1. A mechanical installation enabling railway trains to be guided from one track to another.
2. In JMRI: any On/Off output to the layout, controlled via DCC accessory decoders. The individual output pins on a C/MRI system are also called Turnouts. The two states of the output are called 'Closed' (off, inactive, not commanded state) and 'Thrown' (on, active, commanded state). To report feedback from the layout, Sensor inputs may be assigned to a Turnout. ...
