Changing the Decoder Address

The first CV most people change is the decoder address. This allows you to inde-

pendently control each loco with a unique address. Digitrax decoders are shipped

with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief description

of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT4XX series throttle. See

your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions.

Place the loco on the programming track not to exceed 16V. Go into

Program Mode on your system. On DT4XX throttle press PROG.

Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing.

Choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.

Complete address programming by pressing ENTER.

Note: CV29 must also be programmed to enable 4 digit addressing, this is done

automatically by the DT4XX throttles. See your Digitrax Decoder Manual or the

Digitrax Toolbox App for how to set up CV29.

Digitrax LocoMotion

Your locomotives look like the real thing, now you can make them run like the

real thing, too. Digitrax decoders incorporate torque compensation for smooth

as silk operation. You can also program CVs that control momentum, 3 step and

128 step speed tables, switching speed, normal direction of travel, scalable speed

stabilization and more to take full advantage of the Digitrax LocoMotion System.

Momentum-CV03 & CV04

Momentum is part of the LocoMotion System. Acceleration is controlled by CV03

and deceleration by CV04. Both come from the factory set to 000. A range of 000

to 031 is available for both accel and decel. Try CV03:003 and CV04:000 as a

starting point for experimenting with momentum.

Speed Tables-How the Loco Responds to the Throttle

With Digitrax LocoMotion, there are two types of speed tables: 3 Step Tables and

High Resolution 28 Step Tables. Please see your Decoder Manual for a discussion

of the 28 Step Tables. The 3 Step Tables are set up by programming 3 CVs: Start

Voltage (CV02), Mid point Voltage (CV06) and Max Voltage (CV05). These values

are set at 000 at the factory. All have a range of values from 000 to 255. We rec-

ommend the following CV values as a starting point for experimenting with speed

tables.
