Will switching back and forth with the DCS remote system be difficult?
Not at all. Supply power to the variable input of the tiu, and wire the track from the corresponding variable output. Use the fixed voltage connection on the z1000 brick to power the aux input to the tiu, or jump variable input 1 and fixed input 1 together. The tiu gets power from the aux or fixed 1 input.
On your dcs remote, select track (whichever variable output you are using, usually output 1) and use the thumb wheel to scroll the voltage up/down. If you are running dcs trains this is just a short extra step before powering them up. If you are running conventional trains, the dcs controller is now a walk around throttle to change the voltage to the track.
Easy as pie.
