Configuration for a Locomotive 
Locomotives with a DCC Decoder


All of the definitions for a locomotive are made here. They are stored in the Central Station. 
When a locomotive is registered with its locomotive card all of the definitions have been made already on the card. You can change these definitions in any event and save the changed data on the card where applicable with the button.

The locomotive can be assigned a name of your choice under "Name", and this name enables you to recognize the locomotive immediately. To do this, press briefly on the button   to the right of the entry field so that a keyboard is shown. You don't have to refer to the address here. Also, you can look for an image or icon for the locomotive. There is a whole series of  locomotive icons available.

The type of decoder installed in the locomotive is selected under "Decoder Type". This is only necessary if a new locomotive is being entered manually. You can select from these types:  
- MM2 locomotive with DIP switches
- MM2 programmable locomotive  
- DCC locomotives 

mfx locomotives register themselves

The address can be selected with the +/- buttons.
Note:
Make sure that you have selected the right type of decoder before setting the address!  
Another option is to read out the address for the locomotive through the Central Station. The button   starts the readout procedure, which lasts a few seconds. Also, the locomotive must be standing on the  programming track (applies only to decoders that support the readout procedure.

The button  can be used to read the CVs in the Decoder and to make changes.

The button  can be used to assign a locomotive to a shuttle train route. When a locomotive is assigned to a shuttle train route, the button changes to

The settings for acceleration delay  (ABV), braking delay (ABV), minimum delay, maximum delay, speedometer, and volume are available only in conjunction with programmable decoders. With the exception of the setting for the speedometer and acceleration/braking delay, all of the other settings program the decoder in the locomotive. Here too, the locomotive must be standing on the programming track.
The setting "Speedometer" changes the display for the speedometer on the locomotive controller in the Central Station. 

The functions F0 through F15 can be set in the right vertical field. In the process a function symbol is assigned to each function. The assignment of functions to function buttons cannot however be changed. However, there are decoders (example: Trix 66849), in which this assignment can be changed. This is then stored in memory in the decoder and changes for operation with all locomotive controllers.
