==Button Mappings==
The ACS-64 locomotive supports "function pagination." This makes it easy to access all 28 functions and all lighting effects on throttles with limited function access by adding an offset to the pressed function button (offset of 10 for function page 2, offset of 20 for function page 3. For example:

*Press function 8 twice to rotate through the pages until the decoder announces "function page two."
*Press function 5
*The decoder will activate function 5 + 10 (page 2 offset) = 15

''Note: the decoder supports accessing function 15 by pressing F15 on your throttle regardless of the currently selected function page.''
