[quote user="Datafever"]I notice that the device does more than just measure distance from a setpoint. It is also a communication device with a transponder ID. What it is communicating with - the EOT? If so, is the displayed pressure reading from the EOT?<br> <br> BTW, I understand rough and rugged. My comment about it looking old did not stem from its beat-up appearance, but from the antiquity of the visible components such as the LCDs and the overall user interface. Looks like something right out of 1970.<br> <br> Thank you, both Ed and Mr. Hadid, for your replies.<br> <br>[/quote]<br><br>1980s, actually, but it works reliably, so why change it? Railroading isn't driven by consumers who see more form than function, as are home electronics and autos.<br><br>Yes, this communicates with the EOT, and displays brake-pipe pressure at the EOT. <br><br>S. Hadid<br>
